Here's what I want to do. There's a void in my MainViewController.m file that I want to be able to call from MainView.m. This void needs to display the in-app email form.

MainViewController.h

- (void)showEmailModalView:(NSString*) storyText;

This is the function I want to call. storyText is the string that I want to display in the body of the email.

MainView.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
#import <MessageUI/MFMailComposeViewController.h>
@class MainViewController;
@interface MainView : UIView {
	IBOutlet UITextField *userName;
	IBOutlet UISegmentedControl *userGender;
	IBOutlet UITextView *storyBox;
	
	MainViewController *controller;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) MainViewController *controller;

MainView.m

#import "MainView.h"
#import "MainViewController.h"
//import email sheet stuff
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
#import <MessageUI/MFMailComposeViewController.h>

@implementation MainView

@synthesize controller;

//bunch of other program code

//email function
-(IBAction)emailStory {
	//check if user entered a name
	NSLog(@"MainView.m -(IBAction)emailStory called");
	if(storyName==nil) {
		//display warning
	} else {
		NSString *storyTextToEmail = [storyBox text];
		[controller showEmailModalView:storyTextToEmail];
	}
}

XCode isn't giving me warnings or errors, but when I put self.view.controller = self; or MainView.controller = self; in the viewDidLoad as stated above, it gives me errors.

If I use self.view.controller = self;, XCode says
error: request for member 'controller' in something not a structure or union

If I use MainView.controller = self;, XCode says
error: accessing unknown 'setController:' class method
error: object cannot be set - either readonly property or no setter found

Any suggestions? I'm completely stumped by this.
