Ah hah! That was the problem! The memory address of self was different in
the two cases. Upon further inspection, I found out that, even though the
rollover button object was contained in the nib file (and therefore had
already been allocated and initialized), I was creating ANOTHER instance of
the class in my code. The first time execution was given to a method in the
class, it was in the -awakeFromNib method (in the instance of the class in
the nib file). The second time, it was its own method, so it was in the one
I created. With this knowledge, I defeated the problem :-).
Thanks for everyone's help! It seems that a lot of you were hinting towards
a dual instance of the class.
Thanks again,
mw
