actionUpdate() in Yii multimodel form?

Question

In Yii multimodel form we just used actionCreate() to create the form of two models in a single view.Ok everything is fine upto here.But when we will update the two models in a single view of multimodel how the models will be defined here? Let me give you one example.Just think the database is just like this

 === Project ===
  id
  task_id(FK)
  description

  === Task ===
  id
  name
  description

So In actionCreate() of the project controller,the code will be something like this

    public function actionCreate()
  {
    $model=new Projects;
    $tasks=new Projects;

    // Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed
    // $this->performAjaxValidation($model);
    if (isset($_POST['Projects'],$_POST['Tasks']))
    {
      $model->attributes = $_POST['Projects'];
      $tasks->attributes = $_POST['Tasks'];
      $valid = $model->validate();
      $valid = $tasks->validate();
      if($valid)
      {
        $model->save(false);
        $tasks->save(false);
        $this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id));
      }
    }
    $this->render('create',array(
      'model'=>$model,
      'tasks'=>$tasks,
    ));
  }

Now here the both models are ready for create. So what to do in actionView() and actionUpdate()?How to declare the both models?Any help and suggestions will be highly appriciable.

You didn't create any object for Task model.

Is this really different? When loading view / update you'll just need to have ID's in GET which tells you which models to load. Models will then be Projects::model()->findByPk($myId) if using ActiveRecord. When updating you can assign attributes as you do with create, but make sure the model is loaded from the database first.
