iCarousel buttonsDemo 'UIImage' may not respond to 'objectAtIndex'

Question

Can someone help me, please? I am trying to make a carousel of button - every button has a different background image, but I failed to do it.

Finally it functions, but I don´t know, why I got always a warning (on [image objectAtIndex:0], [image objectAtIndex:1], [image objectAtIndex:2] ):

'UIImage' may not respond to 'objectAtIndex'.

Thank you very much!

My source code of iCarouselExampleViewController.m:

because a UIImage isnt an NSArray but you only DECLARED it a UIImage hence no crash

UIImage *image=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                          [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.png"],
                          [UIImage imageNamed:@"image2.png"],
                          [UIImage imageNamed:@"image3.png"],nil];

change it so an array is declared

NSArray *image=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:...

and while at it, rename image to images and use the new syntax

NSArray *images = @[img1,img2,img3];
