So how to start the animation?

I put in self.imageView.animationRepeatCount = 1; and it says I have to use the correct method to start the animation. What am I doing wrong?

you cant call the method using dot syntax, you are going to have to call it using brackets like this:

[objectToCallMethodOn methodName];

where the object to call the method on is your imageView property and the method name is startAnimating

there is a method you need to call on your imageView that tells it to (hint hint) startAnimating

Thanks for the help!

I tried to put self.imageView.startAnimating;

I also tried to to put - (void)startAnimating; outside the method,

still doesn't work.

I am sorry but I am an idiot in programming. TT___TT
