Adding UIImageView to NSMutableArray

[nibby]

Hi all

I am having trouble adding UIImageViews to a NSMutableArray.

in my .h file i have:

@interface iWackViewController : UIViewController {
	NSMutableArray *monsterList;
}

@property (nonatomic) NSMutableArray *monsterList;

in my .m i try this:

CGRect myImageRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, 16, 16);
UIImageView *myImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:myImageRect];
[myImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"monster.png"]];
myImage.opaque = YES;
[self.view addSubview:myImage];
[monsterList addObject:myImage];
NSLog(@"Monster added.");
NSLog(@"Array now %i elements long",monsterList.count);

But my array never grows - in the console i get "Monster added" followed by "Array now 0 elements long. The UIImageView is displayed just fine in the simulator.

Anyone know what i am doing wrong?

I want the array to be "public" i whatever you would call it in Objective C, which is why i define it in my .h

Thanks in advance.

You need to write the NSMutableArray into the .m file:

monsterList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

Rookie mistake - thanks...
