Why is my NSMutableArray deallocating in UITableView - uitableview

Question

My NSMutableArray seems to be releasing and I can't figure out where, here is my code:
- (void)awakeFromNib {
arrayOfData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:0];
[arrayOfData addObject:#"test"];
NSLog(#"array: %#", arrayOfData);
}
All is well here!
Then I create a UITable and add it to the view, then I request some data, everything is normal.
arrayOfData = [response objectForKey:#"results"];
NSLog(#"count: %i", [arrayOfData count]);
NSLog(#"success!");
numberOfRows = [arrayOfData count];
[self.myTableView reloadData];
Creating the number of rows works fine too:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSLog(#"test: %i", numberOfRows);
return numberOfRows;
}
Now accessing my array gets a "message sent to deallocated instance" at that line.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *MyIdentifier = #"MyIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] autorelease];
}
// crashes here!
NSLog(#"array: %i", [arrayOfData count]);
if (numberOfRows){
NSString *filename = [[arrayOfData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"filename"];
NSString *url = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"http://www.web.com/dir/%#", filename];
[cell.imageView setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]
placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"placeholder.png"]];
cell.textLabel.text = #"My Text";
}
return cell;
}
I have also have this in my header, and I used #synthesize as well
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *arrayOfData;
Any help would be appreciated!

It looks like you're reassigning arrayOfData with this line:
arrayOfData = [response objectForKey:#"results"];
If that's what you want, try this instead:
arrayOfData = [[response objectForKey:#"results"] retain];
