Help! Using Same Declared Object in 2 View Controllers

[RPGsuz]

I couldn't find a direct answer to this online, which surprised me, so hopefully Im not being stupid.

Basically I need a UIWebView in my 2nd view/viewcontroller, but I need to reference it in my first view controller to actually load the web page and go to the 2nd view.

This is in the first ViewController.m:

 -(IBAction)goToSite {
    secondview *second =[[secondview alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
    [self presentModalViewController:second animated:YES];
    
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:site];
    NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [webview loadRequest:req];
}

So as you can see above, I need to reference the declared object "webview"(bold-faced), which in the last line of code tells the UIWebView to load, in my first ViewController, obviously this web view will be in the 2nd view.

So, how would I do that?
I tried #import on my secondview.h (where "webview" needs to be declared), into my ViewController.m, and apparently that doesn't work.

So how would I do this? Remember what I basically need to do is use the same object/variable in 2 view controllers.

Not sure if it's through the app delegate or not, but that didn't seem to work in my case.

You should NEVER touch another controller's view. In your "secondview" controller, you should add a NSURL property named webViewURL or something like that. Then, in your goToSite, set the webViewURL property. In your "secondView" controller, in the viewWillAppear method, add your loading code.

By the way, you should read up on naming conventions. CocoaDevCentral: Cocoa Style for Objective-C: Part I
