iOS Can I push a modal view controller from within another modal view controller?

[ataylor2009]

I've got a rootViewController that, at one point, displays a peoplePickerNavigationController. I'm trying to push a second view controller when my user selects a specific contact property, like so:

-(BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)picker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABPersonRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {
RuleBuilder *ruleBuilder = [[RuleBuilder alloc] initWithNibName:@"RuleBuilder" bundle:nil];
[self pushModalViewController:ruleBuilder animated:YES];
[ruleBuilder release];
return NO;
}

This compiles just fine, but when I run the code in the simulator and run through the peoplePicker, nothing happens when I select a contact property. On a whim, I added a [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; just before [ruleBuilder release]; and that dismisses the peoplePicker, but otherwise has no effect on my missing ruleBuilder.

Any ideas?

Found the answer:

[picker pushModalViewController:ruleBuilder animated:YES];

I was sending the message to 'self' (the rootViewController) instead of 'picker' (the active view controller). Whoops.
