Question

I asked a question about dismissing multiple view controllers previously and the answers that i was given along with the possible solutions i found elsewhere have all failed to achieve the desired effect. i have narrowed down my issue to something with the way i set up my delegation. the code is below and i would really appreciate any feedback.

my full project can be downloaded here: https://www.yousendit.com/download/TEhWckhYQVNYSHpIRHNUQw

Thanks.

In the prepareForSegue method, you missed this line:

avc.delegate = self;
