Hi Does anyone know how to create an animated splash screen for iOS? Thanks M.

Um, like the Splash Screen in the control panel? Or something else? Maybe this is what you mean. a) You create a standard Splash Screen using the built in contorl. b) It asks for a single image to show, then animate away. But, you want a series of images to animate (move, transition, etc) and not the single image. This would not be tough to do. iOS uses a UIImageView to show the image in the built in Splash Screen. This UIImageView is being sent 'one image' from your configuration. This image usually comes from the project and not a URL to it loads faster. Have a look at the BT_screen_splash.m file to see how this is working. You could create your own splash screen class file then use a custom plugin, or, just hack-up the existing BT_screen_splash.m. The idea is that you will... a) Drag a series of images into Xcode. b) Create an array of UIImages holding a UIImage for each part of the animation. Each image is a different part of the animation. c) Instead of giving the UIImageView ONE image, you give it the list. iOS animates these images automatically becuase you gave it a list instead of one. This means the animation effect will depend on what the images are. This is usualy done in series of images that share a common background and are only slightly different than each other. When the animate (change quickly) it looks like you want. Imagine an old fashion deck-of-cards animation where the cards are quickly flipped through giving the feel that things are moving when really the only difference between each card is slight.

Thanks David That's exactly it!!! Thanks a lot, I will give it a shot and post the results here. Regards M.

ahhh neat! gonna play around with this :)

If anybody posts some detailed instructions, let me know! Mark

Hey, I know this an old thread but did you have any luck in integrating an animated splash screen? A tutorial (and your opinions on the difficulty involved) would be great!
