The main event loop is fast enough. The problem you have is that you're scheduling work on it that isn't fast enough. Perhaps you need to move that work to a thread, or break it into chunks that can be done over several runs of the loop. Synching sound and visual animation usually works by triggering events at the same time and arranging that they take about the same time. Core Animation includes callbacks to trigger the next step in a series of animations, and that can include sound, and sound playback includes events that can be used to trigger animations or sounds. Used properly, Core Animation is pretty powerful, and it doesn't demand any special techniques to make it "fast enough". Its animations are done using threads anyway. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
