Hi, I'm new to iPhone dev and need some help with adding subViews.
I have a reusable object that I made that is stored in a separate .h .m and xib file.
I would like to use this object in my main project's view controller. I have included the header and the assignment of the object generates no errors. I am able to load the object into my main project but can only do things with it inside my viewDidLoad method. I intend to have a few of these objects on my screen and am looking fora solution that is more robust then just hard wiring up multiple copies of the shape object.
As soon as I try to access the object outside of the viewDidLoad it produces a variable unknown error - first use in this function.
Here is my viewDidLoad method:
shapeViewController *shapeView = [[shapeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"shapeViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.view addSubview: shapeView.view];
// This is the problem line
// This code works changes the display on the shape object
[shapeView updateDisplay:@"123456"];
---- but the same code outside of the viewDidLoad generates the error.
So to sum up, everything works except when I try to access the shapeView object in the rest of the methods.
Thanks in advance
