Setting NSURL in a different view. Value is nil on current view

Question

I assume my mistake is a very simple one, but alas here's the problem.

At the moment i'm trying to set my NSURL with this block from ViewControllerB

-(IBAction)changeUrl:(id)sender{

    globalURL = [NSURL URLWithString:
                  @"http://secretUrl.fileExstension"];

    viewControllerA *viewA = [[viewControllerA alloc] initWithNibName:@"viewControllerA" bundle:nil];

    viewA.globalURL = [[NSURL alloc] init];
    viewA.globalURL = globalURL;

    [viewA.globalURL release];



}

And meanwhile in viewControllerA i'm doing this.

if (globalURL == nil) {
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:@"LOL NSURL IS NIL!"  
                                                   delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alert show];
    [alert release];

}
else
{

    // initates the request with set NSURL

}

So the main problem is that the NSURL is not properly keeping it's value while being passed between the views.

Any thoughts?

-(IBAction)changeUrl:(id)sender{

globalURL = [NSURL URLWithString:
              @"http://secretUrl.fileExstension"];

viewControllerA *viewA = [[viewControllerA alloc] initWithNibName:@"viewControllerA" bundle:nil];



// viewA.globalURL = [[NSURL alloc] init]; //allocate this init method for viewcontrollerA
viewA.globalURL = globalURL;

   // [viewA.globalURL release]; // Dont release here.
