Re: What's wrong with my NSMutableArray?

You need to retain your array since arrayWithCapacity returns an autoreleased object. And in dealloc, release the array, and set to nil if you want to but not necessary. Devon Allan Greenier wrote: This is so simple I know the answer will embarrass me. This is an iPhone app. I've got an NSM
