Defining the file a UIImage will use (Swift)

Question

So I looked around the developer library on apple's site and I couldn't find any documentation that said how to state what file (like a png) to use for a UIImage using the swift language. So I try experimenting with this code:

class ViewController: UIViewController {  @IBOutlet var maintitle: UIImageView  var bigtitle: UIImage! var smalltitle: UIImage!   override func viewDidLoad() {     super.viewDidLoad()     // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.       func startAnimating(){         var animatedtitle: AnyObject[] = [bigtitle, smalltitle]         var animationDuration: NSTimeInterval = 0.15         var animationRepeatCount: Int = 0     } } 

What I was trying to do there was animate a never ending series of two images. I defined two UIImages (bigtitle & small title) and was wondering how I define wat .png's to use for those UIImage's. I know this is a very basic and novice question but any help would be enjoyed.

Answer 1

Even though you are using Swift, all the classes that come from UIKit and other libraries still are written in Objective-C.

There is no difference in the interfaces to these libraries, just the syntax.

In this case, you need to use the object construction syntax:

var image = UIImage(named:"ImageName")
