- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
 NSPoint mousePoint = [theEvent locationInWindow];
 //NSPoint localPoint = [self convertPoint:mousePoint fromView:nil];
 CALayer *hitLayer = [[self layer]  hitTest:mousePoint];
 NSLog(@"MainView, hitLayer: %@", hitLayer.name);
 NSLog(@"mousePoint %f %f", mousePoint.x, mousePoint.y);
}

47Specifing Values in CALayer

You can not specify a structure field key path using Objective-C 2.0 properties. This will not work:

~~myLayer.transform.rotation.x=0;~~

Instead you must use setValue:forKeyPath: or valueForKeyPath: as shown below:

[myLayer setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:0] forKeyPath:@"transform.rotation.x"];

brrrrrr.

- (id)valueForKey:(NSString *)key - (void)setValue:(id)value forKey:(NSString *)key
