Hey guys. So I am creating buttons dynamically within loadView. Each of these buttons is given an action using the @Selector method, such as :
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(showCCView) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
Now that showCCView method is defined outside of loadView, where this above statement is located. The point of the method is to change the view currently on the screen (so set self.view = ccView). It gives me an error every time I try and access self.view outside of loadView, and even sometimes when I try and access it at random places within loadView, it just has been acting really weird.
I tried to change it around so I wouldn't have to deal with this either. I had made a function + (void) showView: (UIView*) oldView: (UIView*) newView; but this didn't work out either because the @Selector was being real prissy about using it with a function that needed two parameters.
Any help please?
