migrating view controllers to a new storyboard

Hi!

So, I'm building an app that probably has 100 or so views now and this is causing the interface to slow down (a lot!). Clicking between 2 storyboards takes about 10 seconds or so right now. I've read on stackOverflow that one way to avoid this is to create multiple story boards. How can I take 30 or 40 view controllers from my current (main) storyboard and transfer them to a new storyboard so that connections will still work? Please and thank you!

John

I think you need to review your current strategy. It seems that you should reuse views where possible, of course it depends on the type of application you are building.

I think you're probably right. I'm new to XCODE and wasn't entirely sure how to change a textView field using an object from an array. Each view controller needs to be able to scroll, but they all have vastly different word counts. Some have 100 words, some have 1,000.

That is definitely the wrong way to go. I think you can do with just 1 view controller! :)

You can make your view controller in such a way that the size of the array doesn't matter. As long as the objects in there are all of the same type.
