Extending the QTKitPlayer Application
1. Open Interface Builder by double-clicking MovieDocument.nib in your Xcode project window
and select the blue QuickTime icon in the toolbar, as shown in Figure 3-6. Note that the QuickTime
icon in this palette looks like the one available in the Cocoa-GraphicsViews palette, but they are
different. The one in the QTKit palette gives you the QTMovieView object rather than an
NSMovieView object. Be sure that you select the item in the Cocoa-QTKit palette.

2. Delete the text “Your document contents here” in the window object.
3. Drag the QuickTime icon from the QTKit palette to the bottom-left corner of the project window.
4. You now have a QuickTime movie view object with a control bar in the bottom-left corner of the
window. Drag the upper-right handle of the movie view object to the upper-right corner of the
window, filling the entire window, so the movie view object with its control bar is visible, as
shown in Figure 3-7.

5. Click the QuickTime movie object in the window, then press Command-1 to open the
QTMovieView Info window. The Attributes pane appears with the default fill color of black and
the Show Controller item selected. Note that the field that lets you select a movie from a list of
files by clicking the File button is initially blank. Don’t click the File button to open a QuickTime
movie that will be displayed in your window.
6. Leave the Show Controller item selected.
