Passing NSInteger from View to Subview?

[encryption]

I am not sure why this is not working.

I am simply trying to pass a NSInteger from a view to its subView and NSLog is showing that the value is not making it. Although other variables (such as NSString work).

Here is my code:

SomeViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "TimedBarView.h"

@interface SomeViewController : UIViewController
{

	IBOutlet TimedBarView				*timedBarSubView;
	
}

@property (nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet TimedBarView *timedBarSubView;

SomeViewController.m

@synthesize timedBarSubView;

...

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    if(timedBarSubView == nil)
	{
		TimedBarView	*subViewController =
		[[TimedBarView alloc] initWithNibName:@"TimedBarView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
		
		[self setTimedBarSubView:subViewController];

		[subViewController release];
	}

	timedBarSubView.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
	[timedBarSubView upGrade];
	timedBarSubView.itemName.text = @"Town Villa";

	timedBarSubView.levelNum = 5;	
	
	CGRect r = [timedBarSubView.view frame];
	r.origin.x = 0.0f;
	r.origin.y = 290.0f;
	[timedBarSubView.view setFrame:r];
	[self.view addSubview:timedBarSubView.view];
}

...

TimedBarView.h

@interface TimedBarView : UIViewController
{

...

	NSInteger levelNum;

...

}

@property (nonatomic) NSInteger levelNum;

TimedBarView.m

@synthesize levelNum;

...

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSLog(@"The current value of levelNum is %d", levelNum);
}

But I always get this in the console:

The current value of levelNum is 0

even when I am sending in a constant 5.

Any ideas what's wrong here?

Setting the NSinteger value was causing viewDidLoad function to run prior to setting the value for some reason.

Anyways, I changed my code to use a method rather than setting a variable and it's working now.

Thanks!
