App crashes whenever button is pressed

First of all, I'd like to say that I am a total newbie to iPhone development, and that there is probably an obvious thing i'm missing.

I have a view based application. I went into "MainWindow.xib", and changed the "Nib Name" to "MainMenu", the name of my app's menu's xib. I have a button in there, connected to an action (showWordChooser), and whenever the button is pressed the app crashes.

-[NCEAVerbsViewController showWordChooser]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x4b251c0

You are apparently trying to call the showWordChooser somewhere, which does not exist in the location you are calling.

The error means you haven't defined the method. Check for misspelled method names, or have you placed the function in the wrong file?
