Using Swift, how to create a UIViewController over another one using StoryBoards

I have a viewcontroller that hold a button for now, and I want to create a new viewcontroller and add his view over the current one

So far I did this:

class ViewController : UIViewController
{
    var myController: MyController = MyController.controller()

    init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder!)
    {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }

    init(nibName nibNameOrNil: String!, bundle nibBundleOrNil: NSBundle!)
    {
        super.init(nibName: nibNameOrNil, bundle: nibBundleOrNil)
    }

    override func viewDidLoad()
    {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.view.addSubview(self.myController.view)
    }

    @IBAction func buttonPressed(sender : AnyObject)
    {

    }
}

in MyController I did a singleton (I hope I did it right)

class MyController : UIViewController
{

    init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder!)
    {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }

    init(nibName nibNameOrNil: String!, bundle nibBundleOrNil: NSBundle!)
    {
        super.init(nibName: nibNameOrNil, bundle: nibBundleOrNil)
    }

    class func controller() -> MyController
    {
        var once : dispatch_once_t = 0
        var sharedInstance: MyController?

        dispatch_once(&once, { sharedInstance = MyController()})

        return sharedInstance!
    }
}

the behavior I got is this, if I DON'T call the

self.view.addSubview(self.myController.view)

everything works fine, if I did, the button in the center is not anymore recognizing the touches, it is like it has something over that intercept the touch, what is wrong here? what I'm missing?

You did it wrong. Singleton is not required here. If you are using storyboard, the below line 

var myController: MyController = MyController.controller()

could be 

var myController: MyController = self.storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MyViewController")

Then before adding sub view set the frame of the self.myController.view 

self.myController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 200); // or what ever frame you want
