xcode - iPhone: Creating Scrolling Image/Text Views within Modal View Tab Bars -

i've begun objective-c , looking find way create iphone app launch main menu consisting of maybe around 8 or 9 buttons.

when buttons pressed link scrolling text view (containing few paragraphs of text) accompanying image @ top of screen, act "back" button return main menu. looking animate/behave modalview (where new view scrolls bottom of screen, , scrolls down when dismissed/back-button pressed).

i have got tab views working within modal view (which brought pressing button in main menu) , have worked out how assign custom icon each tab. i've added custom background each tab. though i'm still having trouble adding scrolling views each tab, can insert pictures , text programmatically. appreciate give me this..

thanks much!!

your question general illicit answer, i'll try point in right direction.

you not have create separate .h/.m/.xib each button - want main menu page buttons controlled single view controller class (.h, .m) , convenient create buttons in single .xib file.

the views create each button's action depends on want do. if 3 of them show image, re-use class called displayimageview, example.

i suggest app working single main view single button , action, , figure out how expand 8 or 9 actions.

and finally, think have lot of reading do. here place start. luck.
