Objects in the nib or external objects (file owner, etc. [1]) can have references to other objects in a nib established by creating connections graphically (control dragging between objects). Those references are stored in instance variables that you define in code (or inherit from a superclass). So the "name" is nothing more then the instance variable you defined and told interface builder to use when you made the connection interface builder. > What am I missing? You simply need instances of "other" class to have a reference (pointer) to an instance of your controller class. Then they can send messages to the controller class instance. Review the following and in particular the discussion of IBOutlets which hopefully will better explain how Interface Builder works in this regard. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/IB_UserGuide/ConnectionsandBindings/chapter_6_section_1.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005344-CH7-SW1> Also review...
