[UIImageView startAnimating] Problem

[gametest]

Hello,

I have one problem in UIImageView Animation.

I initialize UIImageView in "initWithFrame" event. Assign array of images. Now i want to start animation when i tap one button.So,
In button tap i wrote [UIImageView startAnimating].

Problem is First time animation not works properly. From the second time it works perfect.

If I wrote [UIImageView startAnimating] when I add imageview to UIView it works. But I don't want to start it in "initWithFrame" event.

This problem comes in iPod iOS 3.0 not in iOS 4.0.

Thanks in advance.

Are you loading the images with imageNamed, or initWithContentsOfFile?

I've noticed that animationImages runs smoother the first time when you use imageNamed; probably because the images are cached.

I used initWithContentsOfFile because it takes less memory than imageNamed.
I will try with imageNamed. Is there any other solution.

thanks for reply.

I'd heard rumors that playing the animation once off-screen or with visible=NO will make it run smooth the second time.
