Officially going crazy

[malaki1974]

What am I doing wrong here? When I click the button nothing happens. If I write in the 4 numbers I need in the cgrect it works. I want the cgrect location of the box to change.

	  homeButtons = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
					 [[NSNumber alloc] initWithObjects:@"0", @"-480", @"511", @"180", nil],
					 [[NSNumber alloc] initWithObjects:@"0", @"-480", @"511", @"280", nil],
					 [[NSNumber alloc] initWithObjects:@"0", @"-480", @"511", @"380", nil],
					 [[NSNumber alloc] initWithObjects:@"0", @"-480", @"511", @"480", nil],
					 nil];
	  
	  int newY = [[homeButtons objectAtIndex:0] objectAtIndex:0];
	  int newY = [[homeButtons objectAtIndex:1] objectAtIndex:1];
	  int newW = [[homeButtons objectAtIndex:2] objectAtIndex:2];
	  int newH = [[homeButtons objectAtIndex:3] objectAtIndex:3];
	  
	  NSLog(@"newX = %@", newX);
	   NSLog(@"newY = %@", newY);
	   NSLog(@"newW = %@", newW);
	   NSLog(@"newH = %@", newH);
	  
	   NSLog(@"button pressed was %@", btn );
	//  NSNumber *kValue = [[homeButtons objectAtIndex:1] objectAtIndex:0];
	  
    // Notice the view y coordinate is offscreen (480)
    // This hides the view
	// [self buildText:[homeButtons objectAtIndex:btn]];
	
	  self.view = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(newX, newY, newW, newH)] autorelease];

as i understand, cgrects are made of floats, not ints

NSNumber does not have the method initWithObjets:. Just use

homeButtons = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:0], 
[NSNumber numberWithInt:-480],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:511], 
[NSNumber numberWithInt:280], nil];

nil];


and i never remember an nsnumber being allocateable as an array like object

an nsnumber is a number, thats it, it doesnt have a pointer.

An NSNumber does have a pointer. That's why when you make it you use a *

corrected, i just checked, i was thinking about ints

It is still not working although I appreciate everyone's replies.
It only seems to work if I explicitly type in numbers in the cgrect...

Well, what does your code look like now that you have corrected the errors pointed out above? Maybe it "still doesn't work" because you "still haven't fixed it" as suggested.

Classic response - I needed a laugh. Great use of quotes also.
I used a mix of NSNumber and then I ended up converting the indexofobject into a cgfloat (I think) before placing into the cgrectmake. Otherwise the CGRectMake wasn't seeing the array returns as floats. NSLog's had everything being returned but not as floats apparently.

I will post the working code tomorrow. Thanks for the help everyone.

Even though the documentation says CGFloats have to be passed in, I use ints and it works fine.

[malaki1974]

Code that is working for me and thanks again for the help everyone.

	  homeButtons = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
						[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
						[NSNumber numberWithFloat:0],
						[NSNumber numberWithFloat:-480],
						 nil],
						[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
						 [NSNumber numberWithFloat:511],
						 [NSNumber numberWithFloat:-480],
						 nil],
						[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
						 [NSNumber numberWithFloat:373],
						 [NSNumber numberWithFloat:-480],
						 nil],
						[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
						 [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.1],
						 [NSNumber numberWithFloat:-480.0],
						 nil],
						nil];
	
	  NSNumber *newX = ([[homeButtons objectAtIndex:[btn floatValue]] objectAtIndex:0]);
	  CGFloat floatValue = [newX floatValue];
 self.view = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake([newX floatValue], -480, newW, newH)] autorelease];
