How to remove a Cocos2D sprite from a layer?

[Johanovski]

Hi there!

I'm working in a Cocos2D scene where I have a pack of sprites added as children in a GameScene that inherits from CCLayer. When I want to change the whole scene I know that I can remove all children with this line (if I'm not wrong, which also can be):

[self removeAllChildrenWithCleanup:YES];

However how can I remove a single sprite at a certain point of the game? I've tried the following but it doesn't work:

// myObject is a custom class that contains a pointer to it's sprite
[self removeChild:myObject.sprite cleanup:YES];

I think it should be something like what I've done, but what?

Thanks in advance for your time!

This code is correct, so the problem is somewhere else in your code.

// myObject is a custom class that contains a pointer to it's sprite
[self removeChild:myObject.sprite cleanup:YES];

Try logging myObject to make sure it's not nil. Log myObject.sprite to make sure it exists, and myObject.sprite.parent and self to make sure they match.
