[iPhone] Really struggling with views and transitions. Please Help.

Question

Hello All,
First off let me apologize; I've been trying to do this on my own, reading the docs and guides and such, but I just can not get this to work. I feel like once I understand this scenario I'll be able to learn the rest on my own.
Basically I have a simple sample project structured as follows:
MyAppDelegate: typical delegate class
MainViewController: View controller object associated with the main view
TitleViewController: View controller object associated with the title screen view
NextViewController: View controller object associated with the second view (after title screen)
I currently have 3 nib files, one each associated with MainViewController,TitleViewController, and NextViewContoller
the Title View has a button on it
The desired flow of the application is as such:
1) My AppDelegate initializes MyViewController when it loads
2) MyViewController contains the two other view controllers (they are instance variables in the class)
and loads in the TitleScreen View (via addsubview).
This works fine, I am having trouble with the following:
3) The button on the title screen is pushed telling MyViewController to transition the TitleView out and the NextView in
I have tried modifying the code from the Transition View app but its just too complicated for me at present and I can't get it to work.
Can a kind soul out there please provide detailed assistance...maybe the implementation code for those 4 objects I mentioned.
Maybe we can make some kind of tutorial or guide so that other people will find it useful as a precursor to diving into the Transition View Sample App?
I think it would be interesting to have two versions of this well; one that uses nib files for each view and one that does it all purely programatically. This would definitely help newbies like me see how the nib approach is handled behind the scenes.
Again, I apologize for my ignorance...I really am trying. Thanks.

hi scotopia,
i've gone thru that helpless state too, so i'm going to help you as much as i can
the way i did it is slightly different from yours.
on top of
myAppDelegate,
MainViewController, titleViewController, nextViewController (view controllers class)
i have titleView and nextView (view class)
and i did not use addsubview.
inside main view controller you will need to create the titleviewcontroller and nextviewcontroller.
and inside both titleviewcontroller and nextViewController, u need to create the rootViewController and their respective view objects, i.e. titleView or nextView.
inside titleView you define all your methods etc. that will take place in that screen. and place your button code here.
i've managed to trace my footsteps, and found out that the metronome sample code will be easier to understand.
i hope this helps.
