Dear Developers.
I am trying to load plist data into UILabels in a utility template app that has two views. There is a flip animation that allows switching between the views.
Here is the structure of the plist:
Root...............................(Array)
........Item 0.....................(Dictionary)
.................Question..........(string) ///Hello////
.................Answer............(string) ///Goodbye//
I have managed to get the Question String to load into the first view (FlashCard1ViewController) using keys(Constants.h), but i am struggling to get the Answer string to load in the second view (FlippedView). Can anyone help with this?
below is the code i am using, if anybody has further questions or requires clarification please let me know and i will do my best to answer.
with thanks
james
