Re: vanishing info in a global variable

Hello...

What you probably want to do instead is declare the variable in the header file as

extern CharacterList *theCharacterList;

then, in the corresponding .m file, you would declare one instance of the variable that is accessed using the external declaration

CharacterList *theCharacterList = nil;


Also, it would probably be better to create the instance that the variable points to in a different method that will only be called once per run of the application (depending on how your application loads nib files, awakeFromNib can potentially be called multiple times).

If you are creating the global instance of the variable in your application delegate, the best method to do this would probably be the applicationWillFinishLaunching: method.


Hope that helps,

awakeFromNib: method as follows:
