How to I navigate back to a previously loaded xib file?

Question

in my app I have three views. Originally the appDelegate opened the xib file for the mainViewController, and the preset settings on my application template included a flipsideViewController, which would be shown when an information button was hit. Later I decided to include another view controller and xib file, called CountySelectionViewController. The xib file has a button that opens the xib file for the mainViewController via the following:

MainViewController *controller = [[MainViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MainView" bundle:nil];

controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal; [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES]; [controller release];

my question is, should I use the same thing to go back to the CountySelectionViewController as well as its xib? or is there a better way?

I believe what you're looking for is dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: -- http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/uikit/reference/UIViewController_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIViewController/dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:
