AngularJS: $scope NOT updating view from second controller -

i wonder if can help?

i have 1 html file , controller assigned via $routeprovider so

          .when('/', {             templateurl: 'views/contents.html',             controller: 'firstctrl' 

everything working fine, had view ng-repeat on object , view updated so

   <tbody ng-repeat="item in contents.data">      <tr>         

this code working fine, updated item via firstctrl so

   $scope.contents = {};    $scope.contents.data = {...} 

i have extracted functionality out own controller, still same view, have 1 view , 2 controllers... second controller used specifying ng-controller on tbody so

   <tbody ng-controller="secondctrl" ng-repeat="item in contents.data">      <tr> 

now know controller working have insert ng-click on , fires the function. updating $scope second controller seems blank..

from documentation states if $scope exists in parent controller (first) child controller overwrites (second) not case, don't have defined in first controller more.

i tried simple test of

    $scope.testme = "hi"; 

and view

    {{ testme }} 

and nothing ... $scope doesn't exist.

does know whats going on? using correctly?

thanks in advance

if initializing $scope.contents inside of secondctrl experimenting $scope shadowing.

try creating "contents" object inside of firstctrl , when update data. not recreate contents object (i.e. don´t >> $scope.contents = {};) update data object/array >> $scope.content.data = ...
