Nope. Remember, objects don’t “nuke” themselves; they are dealloced when no other objects have references to them. It’s the observer’s responsibility to retain a reference to the target object (observee?) for as long as it’s observing that object. Or at least to have some means of detecting that the target object is going to go away, and removing itself as an observer then. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
