title: iPhone: calling a parent/super method from a subview
body: <p>hope someone can help me on this as been stuck for hours.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to make a kind of picture book.
  I have a view which is my container and I add subviews to that by using addsubview.</p>
  
  <p>On the subview, I have swipe gestures etc that I want to trigger off method in the parent view. I worked out how to trigger the delegate but I cant get the delegate to trigger the parent view. I have read over 10 different ways of doing it and none work.</p>
  
  <p>I now very confused about what a super view is to. Just to confuse matters, the delegate has a tabcontroller and the parent view is tab button 1</p>
  
  <p>I tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>[self.view.superview method]
  [self.superview method]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On the delegate I tried
  self.tabcontroller.parentviewcontroller, selectedview, super view.super </p>
  
  <p>UPDATE :
  The subview needs to be independant of the parent view as its a reusable view.
  Also I have not set the parentview to superview as I just thought a superview is a view with subviews (please don't kill me).  So maybe I just need to set the parentview to a superview?</p>
