Variables falling out of scope - iphone

Question

I have a subclass of AVAudioPlayer and within that subclass I have a method for stopping the current player and (for reasons I won't explain) manually calling audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying like this:
// Handles stopping the player and calling audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying
- (void) stopPlayerForTimedRepeat {
// Stop the player
[self stop];
// Manually call the audio player callback
EditPlayListViewController *playlistController = [[EditPlayListViewController alloc] init];
[playlistController audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:self successfully:YES];
[playlistController release];
}
However, when I call audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying manually like this, all of my variables in the original EditPlaylistViewController fall out of scope.
How do I avoid this so that I still have access to all of my original variables?

Answer 1

I figured out a better way to do this without manually calling audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying so that all the variables will still be within scope.
// Handles stopping the player and calling audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying
- (void) stopPlayerForTimedRepeat {
// Fast forward the call to the end, which will also call audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying
[self setCurrentTime:[self duration]];
}

Answer 2

The variable scope loses because you are creating a new object EditPlayListViewController *playlistController = [[EditPlayListViewController alloc] init]; in the method after stopping it.
Please declare the player in your .h file (like this EditPlayListViewController *playlistController; and allocate it in your viewDidLoad method (like playlistController = [[EditPlayListViewController alloc] init];.
and change your method like this,
- (void) stopPlayerForTimedRepeat
{
// Stop the player
[self stop];
// Manually call the audio player callback
[playlistController audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:self successfully:YES];
[playlistController release];
}
Hope,it'll work for you, if not please tell me.
