I have a method to generate some strings based on the values of some variables I get from I picker controller that is presented modally. I get the values back in the delegate method fine and I can assign them to some properties in my view controller successfully. When I call my method to do the updating, I send the values to the console via NSLog and they show up fine there too. But if I put a breakpoint at the end of my method and look at their values just below the NSLogs, the hover-message says out of scope.
EDIT: I went ahead and added the rest of the head and implementation. Maybe someone can see
