Set delegate in a different class

I'm trying to write my first iPhone app and i'm having some trouble with a delegate.

I have a class that utilises the AVAudioPlayer to play some sound, I then have another class that I need to do something when that sound is complete. So I need this class to implement audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying method of the audio player.

The problem is, I can't work out how to make my second class a delegate of the audio player that is a member of the first class. I created a method in the first class that takes a reference to a class and runs the setDelegate method on this, but the audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying method never gets called. However if I implement the audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying method in the first class, it gets called fine. How can I get audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying to be called in the second class?

So, the code I'm using to add the delegate, in the first class I have this method:

-(void) setAudioDelegate:(id)delegate{
    [audioPlayer setDelegate:delegate];
}

then in the second class i'm calling it from this

[class1 setAudioDelegate:self];

The delegate works in one-to-one manner. If you want relations between instances works in many-to-many or one-to-many manner, maybe you could study NSNotification class reference, or Notification Programming Guide.

Confirm that both 'audioPlayer' and 'class1' are not nil at the time you attempt to set the audio delegate.
