I have a very simple task: add the contents of a textField to an NSMutableArray.The Problem is the array is returning nill. I believe that it has something to do with the fact that the array I'm using is declared as an instance variable.

/*
 IBOutlet NSTextField *textField;
 IBOutlet NSTabView *tableView;
 IBOutlet NSButton *button;
 NSMutableArray *myArray;
 */

#import "AppController.h"


@implementation AppController


-(IBAction)addNewItem:(id)sender
{
    NSString *string = [textField stringValue];
    NSLog(@"%@",string);

    [myArray addObject:string];
    NSLog(@"%d",[myArray count]);//this outputs 0 why is that?

}
