1,987 PointsInfo is not being passed between views
Hi, I’ve been working on Algorythm, on Modifying the UI, using Xcode 6.3, and I have run into the same problem as some of the other students, namely the program wants to use as! instead of as.
However, when I press the button on the main view controller, activating the “prepare for segue” method, it won’t change the variable in the other view controller - the view controller stays at “you have not pressed the button yet” and won’t change.
How can I pass information between views? What am I doing wrong?

1,987 PointsThe Detail View Controller:
import UIKit
class PlaylistDetailViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var pressedLabel: UILabel!
var seguelabel: String?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
if seguelabel != nil {
pressedLabel.text=seguelabel
}
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
And the Master View Controller:
import UIKit
class PlaylistMasterViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var button: UIButton!
@IBOutlet weak var playlistImage0: UIImageView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
button.setTitle("Happy Mothers Day!", forState: .Normal)
let playlist=Playlist(index: 0)
playlistImage0.image=playlist.icon
playlistImage0.backgroundColor = playlist.backgroundColor
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "showPlaylistDetail" {
let playlistDetailController = segue.destinationViewController as! PlaylistDetailViewController
playlistDetailController.seguelabel = "You have pressed the button"
}
}
}

Could you please post the code you currently have for you segue and view controller you're attempting to pass data to.
