Contacts App / Inventory with Archiving 2.0

Hi, all Here is the updated version of the Contacts app with archiving. It will now let you save and load multiple contacts. I am just going to list some of the new things added. Here are the previous and next buttons on the Load View screen:

@IBAction func previousPressed(sender: AnyObject) { // PREVIOUS BUTTON
        
        if index == 0 {
            index = inventory.itemArray.count - 1
            
        } else {
        index--
        }
        println("index: (index)")
        indexLabel.text = "(index + 1)"
        loadItem(inventory.itemArray[index])
        changePlaceHolderText()
        
    }
