What it is
A 2010 screen-recorded tutorial on building expanding and shrinking view animations in the iPhone SDK, in the style of the Facebook app's launcher. It walks through a simple navigation-based app, outlets and actions, view controllers, button tags and switch statements, with source code offered for download.

Are you asking how to make a view appear in the standard way when the icon is tapped? ie how to make a button which is an image Or are you asking how to make the view expand out like they do in the facebook app? If your are asking the first one, you need to drag on a button in interface builder, then select it, in the button attributes window, in the first tab, in the 'type' drop-down (which is default to rounded rect), choose custom. then set either the image or background to your image (see whatever looks better). You can then link it up like a normal button with an IBAction. If you are asking the second question, how do you make the views expand out and shrink back, then check out my tuto

I figured out the problem, just not the solution yet. I am using parts of this tutorial: [this video] to animate a view which contains the webview, in and out. for some reason the view never gets dealloc'd even in the tutorial. I just can't find a fix quite yet. Thanks so much for your help so far!!
