How to specify an beginTime for an animation by using CFTimeInterval?

Question

For my understanding, beginTime can be used to say \"hey, start at exactly 12:00 \'o clock\". But how would I tell this with an CFTimeInterval type? I thought that this one is n

Answer 1

What I missed in the docs: beginTime is in "core animation absolute time" so you've to get the current time and specify your offset from that:

// Start in 5 seconds
theAnimation.beginTime = CACurrentMediaTime() + 5;
