I'm creating an instance of a viewController, and then trying to set the text on of it's properties, a UILabel.

BoyController *boyViewController = [[BoyController alloc] initWithNibName:@"BoyView" bundle:nil];
    	NSString *newText = [astrology getSignWithMonth:month	withDay:day];
    	boyViewController.sign.text = newText;
    	NSLog(@" the boyviewcontroller.sign.text is now set to: %@", boyViewController.sign.text);
    	[newText release];

I tried this, but it didn't work...

So I tried the following:

BoyController *boyViewController = [[BoyController alloc] initWithNibName:@"BoyView" bundle:nil];
	UILabel *newUILabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
	newUILabel.text = [astrology getSignWithMonth:month withDay:day];
	boyViewController.sign = newUILabel;
	NSLog(@" the boyviewcontroller.sign.text is now set to: %@", newUILabel.text);
	[newUILabel release];

But no avail..

I'm not sure why I can't set the text property of the UILabel "sign" in boyViewController..
