Cannot transition

Question

So, I've been playing around with Sprite Kit and Swift stuff, and I was trying to transition between a game scene and a regular UIVewController when I encountered an issue. It returns an error when the actual program is run. Here is my code:

var mainStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main.storyboard", bundle: nil)
var vc = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("menu") as! UIViewController
self.view!.window?.rootViewController?.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)

Here is the error:

Could not find a storyboard named 'Main.storyboard' in bundle NSBundle //bundle location here... (irrelevant)

Does anybody know why this isn't working? When I look at the view on the left of the screen, I see that the storyboard file's name is "Main.storyboard". Did I do something blatantly wrong?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

What do you mean '"transition between a game scene and a regular UIViewController"? A `UIViewController` contains an `SKView` which contains an `SKScene`... — ABakerSmith, May 17 '15 at 15:26
How are you displaying your `SKScene` then? You need an `SKView` to present an `SKScene`. — ABakerSmith, May 17 '15 at 15:54
I don't really understand what you mean. I am presenting a menu scene--which is a UIViewController--from an SKScene. — , May 17 '15 at 15:56

The name of the storyboard is simply "Main" instead of "Main.storyboard". From the documentation:

The name of the storyboard resource file without the filename extension. This method raises an exception if this parameter is nil.

well, now it says that the view is not in the window heirarchy – May 17 '15 at 15:31
If you want to present a new viewcontroller, just use self.presentViewController... instead of your last line. – Dániel Nagy May 17 '15 at 15:33
that does not work because self refers to an SKScene, not a UIViewController – May 17 '15 at 15:38
