UIViewController help urgent!!!!

[RichardCornet]

Hi

I have an app that is currently linking to a variety of different UIViewControllers, i would like to limit the amount of ViewControllers as it will get rather crowded and save memory.

Could anyone help me with the following problem please!

I have a list of players in a band that i would like to display biographies and an image for.

I have a menu page and would like it so that when the user clicks on a particular band members name it pushes in a view controller (playerpushedViewController) and puts in the relevant band members biography into a UITextView and their picture into a UIImageView.

For th purpose of any coding i and an example i am using band member ones biography as "band1.txt" and their image as "band1.jpg"

At the moment i am using the following code to load my view controller

- (IBAction)switch1:(id)sender;
{
    pushedplayerViewController *third =[[pushedplayerViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
	[self presentModalViewController:third animated:YES];
    

}

any ideas anyone

(ps i have managed to do it by using separate ViewControllers but would like to use one as i have 28 band members)

Before you present your view controller, load your data from the text file:

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"YourFileName" ofType:@"txt"];   
NSData *txtData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];

Store the data in your new view controller (I'm guessing you'll have a description string and an image name in the text file?). Then, in your new view controller's viewWillAppear() function, set the UITextField data and UIImageView with what you stored earlier.
