Bridger,

As far as I can tell there is nothing inherent in the CA API to do what you want, however, KVC is available to you. When you create your animation, do this:

[animation setValue:objectLayer forKey:@"parentLayer"];

Where objectLayer is the layer the animation is going to be run on. Then, in your -animationDidStop, you can grab the layer like this:

- (void)animationDidStop:(CAAnimation *)theAnimation finished:(BOOL)flag
{
  CALayer *layer = [theAnimation valueForKey:@"parentLayer"];
  if( layer )
  {
    NSLog(@"The layer object was: %@ (%@)", layer, [layer name]);
    [layer removeFromSuperlayer];
  }
}

I named my layer when I created it with a call to [objectLayer setName:@"parentLayer"] in this code, so the NSLog in - animationDidStop won't display the name unless you've done the same.

Best regards,

-Matt

Another question on Core Animation.

I am creating temporary CALayers, and animating them across a parent layer. I would like to delete the layers once they have reached their destination. I are using the delegate method animationDidStop:finished: on the animation, but it returns only a reference to the animation object that finished, and I
don't know how to figure out what layer the animation was associated.
Without this information, I don't know which layer we should remove. Any
help would be great.

Thank You,
Bridger Maxwell
