Hi,
or in other words:
why does the documentation suck so much (for beginners)? :-)
am i researching the wrong place?
when looking at for example the php documentation, every method has at
least a nice syntax sample...
when reading the cocoa doc, i have something like this:
addChapters
Adds chapters to the receiver using the information specified in the
chapters array.
- (void)addChapters:(NSArray *)chapters withAttributes:(NSDictionary
*)attributes error:(NSError **)errorPtr
Discussion
Each array element is an NSDictionary containing key-value pairs.
Currently two keys are defined for this dictionary,
QTMovieChapterNameand QTMovieChapterStartTime. The value for the
QTMovieChapterName key is an NSString object that is the chapter name.
The value for the QTMovieChapterStartTime key is an NSValue object
that wraps a QTTime structure that indicates the start time of the
chapter. The receiving QTMovie object must be editable or an exception
will be raised.
The attributes dictionary specifies additional attributes for the
chapters. Currently only one key is recognized for this dictionary,
QTMovieChapterTargetTrackAttribute, which specifies the QTTrack in the
receiver that is the target of the chapters; if none is specified,
this method uses first video track in movie. If no video track is in
the movie, this method uses the first audio track in the movie. If no
audio track is in the movie, this method uses the first track in the
movie. If an error occurs and errorPtr is non-NULL, then an NSError
object is returned in that location.
yeah..... cool.... what?
so probably i have to call something like:
[myMovie addChapters:myChapterArray]
but i have really no idea how that chapterarray should look like :-/
looking forward for the "initial hint" that will hopefully light the
spark :-)
best,
