so i am trying to have multiple images shown in sequence so it looks as if the image is getting brighter then darker, i had it just getting bright but now when i add the getting dark it only gets darker and the first part is skipped here is the code, please help thanks!

Code: 
@implementation IntroViewController
@synthesize imageview;

-(void)viewDidLoad {
	
	imageview.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg1.1.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg1.2.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg1.3.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg1.4.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg1.5.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg1.6.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg1.7.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg1.8.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg1.9.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.0.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.1.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.2.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.3.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.4.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.5.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.6.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.7.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.8.jpg"],

								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg3.8.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg3.9.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg4.0.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg4.1.jpg"], nil];
	imageview.animationDuration = 0.50;
	imageview.animationRepeatCount = 1;
	[imageview startAnimating];
	[self.view addSubview:imageview];


	imageview.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg4.1.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg4.0.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg3.9.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg3.8.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg3.7.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg3.6.jpg"],

								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg3.2.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg3.1.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg3.0.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.9.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.8.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.7.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.6.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.5.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.4.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.3.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.2.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.1.jpg"],
								 [UIImage imageNamed:@"eg2.0.jpg"],

The second part of your method is reached before the animation in the first part even has a chance to start, i.e. the code doesn't just stop after the first animation and wait for it to complete. So before the first animation has started, you've already switched the set of animation images and those are the ones the UIImageView ends up using to animate.

[UIView beginAnimations:]

The code below is in the touchesEnded method, but you could put it in your viewDidLoad method.

The first five lines set up the animation with a duration of 3 seconds (and some other stuff). The middle line then sets what the alpha of the two UIImageViews will be at the end of the 3 seconds. Then the last line commits (starts) the animation.

Cocoa will then animate from whatever the opacity of the UIImageViews currently is to whatever the value is in the variable opacityOfPictures.

One other thing, this specifies another method (didStopFirstAnimation) to call when this one finishes. That way you can do another animation in that second method if you want. It looks like you're trying to do two animations - one from bright to dark, then a second animation from dark to bright.

Have fun!

Code: 
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:3.0];
    [UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
    [UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(didStopFirstAnimation:)];
    
    PatrickArms.alpha =     PatrickTan.alpha =     opacityOfPictures;
    
    [UIView commitAnimations];

Click to expand...

What video?

Can you provide a link to it, maybe that would help someone come up with an answer for you.

Can you break the problem down? Maybe using fewer pictures?

What is your programming background? Why do you expect to be able to do this at this point without learning how to use Xcode and more importantly Cocoa Touch?

EDIT: I recommend you read http://whathaveyoutried.com and http://www.mikeash.com/getting_answers.html to see how to best use the forum to get the answers you seek.

ive been having difficulty finding it again on youtube, it was a kid who made a blue screen of death app for the ipod so that one word would change back and forth, but it was 2 different images. I'll keep trying to find it but it wasn't even on my history cuz i watched it so long ago
