I have a ViewController and add programmatically a subview.

During the initialization of the subview (initWithFrame) i want to set some attributes to values according to attributes that belong to another ViewControllers Child-Object (not a view).

-(id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {

        // The following is kind of what i want
        self.myAttribute = [self.viewController.otherObject otherValue]; 
    }
    return self;

}

Thanks in advance for any answers and comments how to improve the question.
