How do I make an animation with only 3rd and 1st View Controllers on swift while dismissing both the 2nd and the 3rd VCs?

Question

Good evening!

I'm new on programming and I'm trying to make a swift application that goes like this:

A --segue--> B --segue--> C

I´m using modal segues between the view controllers.

Then I want to go back from the third view controller to the first one and I'm currently using the following code:

C ---dismissCandB---- > A

self.presentingViewController!.presentingViewController!.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil)

I´m not using NavigationController on this app so any code trying to solve this issue envolving Navigation Controller settings won´t help me.

The problem is: I wanted an animation involving only the third and the first view controllers (just like a modal segue from C to A). But I can't use the segue because in order the app to work properly I need to pass data from C to A through delegates (and not prepareforsegue).

When I set the boolean value to "true", the animation always involves the second view controller, and I don't want it to be shown.

Any ideas on how can I make this work? Thanks in advance.

I think you need this code:

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("FirstViewController") as! UIViewController
self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
