I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're saying, but I suspect you're applying a C++ or Java understanding of objects to Objective-C, and that doesn't work. What we *call* an array of Obj-C objects is *really* an array of pointers to objects (and a NSArray isn't even an array of pointers in the C sense -- it's a kind of array behavior, not an array data structure). In Objective-C, every object is a separate memory allocation, and so is always referred to via a pointer. The concept of "getting" an object from its pointer doesn't make any sense in Obj-C terms. I'm not sure where to go next with this ... _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
