init an array in initWithNibName - iphone

Question

I am trying to set up an array in my UIViewController. The nib gets loaded into my app, sometimes repeatedly. I am adding this to my initWithNibName to init the array
NSMutableArray *temp = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"one",#"two",#"three",#"four",#"five",nil];
[self setScoreArray:temp];
[temp release];
scoreArray is a MutableArray with synthesized properties. When I go to access the array in viewDidLoad I get [[self scoreArray] count] as 0. Also, when I load the nib repeatedly I get a bad access error. Any suggestions? Am I missing a step. Thanks. I am synthesizing the property for the array, in my class declaration:
NSMutableArray *_scoreArray;
then
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *scoreArray;
then in my implementation
#synthesize scoreArray =_scoreArray;
and in my dealloc
[_scoreArray release], _scoreArray = nil;
I'm editing this post to show how I'm loading the nibs with my RootViewController
- (void) createNewSlide:(NSInteger)slideIndex {
NSDictionary *slideObj = (NSDictionary *)[[self slidesDataSource] objectAtIndex:slideIndex - 1];
NSString *currentTitle = [slideObj objectForKey:#"title"];
[[self slideTitle] setText:currentTitle];
NSString *currentContent = [slideObj objectForKey:#"contentString"];
NSString *currentContentType = [slideObj objectForKey:#"contentType"];
if ([self currentVC] != nil) {
[[self currentVC] reset];
[self setCurrentVC:nil];
}
if ([currentContentType isEqualToString:#"slide"])
{
[[self containerViewController] loadImage:currentContent];
}
else if ([currentContentType isEqualToString:#"quiz"])
{
NSInteger quizNum = [[slideObj objectForKey:#"quizNum"] integerValue];
NSLog(#"%s%#%d",__FUNCTION__,#"quizNum ",quizNum);
QuizViewController *quizView = [[QuizViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"QuizViewController" bundle:nil];
[self setCurrentVC:quizView];
[quizView release];
[[self containerViewController] replaceSlideWithViewController:[self currentVC]];
}
else if ([currentContentType isEqualToString:#"PIDView"])
{
PIDViewController *PIDView = [[PIDViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"PIDView" bundle:nil];
[self setCurrentVC:PIDView];
[PIDView release];
[[self containerViewController] replaceSlideWithViewController:[self currentVC]];
}
else if ([currentContentType isEqualToString:#"LoginView"])
{
LoginViewController *login = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginView" bundle:nil];
[self setCurrentVC:login];
[login release];
[[self containerViewController] replaceSlideWithViewController:[self currentVC]];
}
else if ([currentContentType isEqualToString:#"VakView"])
{
VakViewController *vakView = [[VakViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"VakView" bundle:nil];
[self setCurrentVC:vakView];
[vakView release];
[[self containerViewController] replaceSlideWithViewController:[self currentVC]];
}
else if ([currentContentType isEqualToString:#"PlanView"])
{
PlanViewController *planView = [[PlanViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"PlanView" bundle:nil];
[self setCurrentVC:planView];
[planView release];
[[self containerViewController] replaceSlideWithViewController:[self currentVC]];
}
Thanks for your insights.
PlanView is the one that causes the problem. But it is not when it loads, it's when something else loads after it. I have run the analyzer and it reports no memory leaks.
BTW, currentVC is a synthesized property.

How is your UIViewController being created? If it is being created via another nib, then -initWithNibName:bundle: doesn't get called. Instead, -initWithCoder: and -awakeFromNib are called.
