what would be the best way to retain information, i.e. positions of UIImageViews created in one to transfer to the other and simple int values for answers to math problems, across two xibs? in other words i have an app that autorotates to the device orientation and loads an xib for that orientation and what i want is anything done in one xib like dragging an UIImageView around the screen changing its location, to transfer to the other xib so that were the user to change the orientation in the middle of the game everything would look relatively the same.
