I’m working on a ScreenSaver and I have a few NSImages that are allocated in the initialization. I need them in every AnimateOneFrame method, so is there a method I can use to release it when the screensaver stops?

How about your dealloc method?

Never mind, it goes in the StopAnimation method.

No matter what class you’re in, dealloc is the preferred location for releasing your class variables. You should get in a habit of using it.

Shouldn’t the init… method be paired with dealloc and startAnimation with stopAnimation? If the screen saver stops and restarts, won’t it crash? –JediKnil
