Help: Swift Segue with Variables is not working!

Hi, I am trying to build a Detail View controller from scratch in swift. I have succesfully built the table, built the two views, added data to the tables and created a segue. But when I try to pass a variable between the two screens using my segue it will not work. The segue can successfully pass strings BUT not Variables

The code I am using is: //Segue override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) { if segue.identifier == "DetailSegue" { var svc = segue.destinationViewController as DetailViewController; svc.tooPass = performer } }

//Function Run on Tap.
func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {
    var performer = tableData[indexPath.row]
    performSegueWithIdentifier("DetailSegue", sender: self)  
}

You don't have to use didSelectRow, try this :

    func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) { 
    if segue.identifier == "DetailSegue" { 
    let svc = segue.destinationViewController as DetailViewController

    let indexPath : NSIndexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow()!

    svc.tooPass = tableData[indexPath.row] } }
