Refactoring the Flash Code : Alerts/Notices have no text

Per the video "Refactoring the Flash Code"

I'm having an issue where the alerts and notices are showing the colors, but no messages appear.

views/layouts/application.html.erb

<% flash.each do |type, message| %>
  <div class="alert <%= flash_class type %>">
    <button class="close" data-dismiss="alert">&times;</button>
    <% message %>
  </div>
<% end %>

application_helper.rb

def flash_class(type)
  case type
    when :alert
      "alert-error"
    when :notice
      "alert-success"
    else
      ""
  end
end

I think that's all the code that was really changed. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Derp. As I was writing this and making sure the code was indenting properly I noticed I missed an equal sign. Nevermind!
