I need to make some clearance on this problem: the biggest issue is that MovieDocument is instantiated by IB, since it is the FileOwner of the MovieDocument.nib. So the problem should be: is there a way to access a class from a method of another class when the
first class is instantiated from a NIB file.

I am now trying to set an IBOutlet in the other classes for MovieDocument. It is the only way I can find from my brain... Frankly say, I am a real newbie...

sorry for any confusion... If there were any repeated posts, please forgive me...

Hi Jedis,

Here is my problem: my application now have a main nib file
MovieDocument.nib with its FileOwner MovieDocument.mm(We used
AVCVideoServices which requires to be in a c++ source file). I need to
send messages to the methods in MovieDocument.mm from other classes in
the project(I have many other windows and also corresponding
controllers), so i need a way to access the movieDocument globally.

One example: there is another controller VideoController.m which
contains some measurement methods on the movie loaded in
movieDocument. Once we finish the measurement in VideoController, we
need to update the movie in MovieDocument, where we need to send
message to the methods in MovieDocument.

This is from VideoController.m

- (void)writeMeasureOutput:(MeasureView *)sender
{
        // Some measurement code here...

        object = [[movieDocument measureView]   whatsNext];

        NSLog(@"Next measurement: %@",object);        
        
}

Such calls should be used in many other controllers in the projects.
So the instant of MovieDocument should be accessed globally.

I have tried to instantiate MovieDocument in MovieDocument.h, but it
is clearly wrong since when the header file is imported, the instant
will be created once.

So any suggestion on this problem? Thanks in advance!
