touchesbegan problem simple

[Mjsdabeast]

I am using the touchesBegan method for whenever it is touched a new view comes up:

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event 
{
	self.view = gameOver;
	
	[gameTimer release];
	[label release];
	[levelone removeFromSuperview];
	[leveltwo removeFromSuperview];
	[levelthree removeFromSuperview];
	[levelfour removeFromSuperview];
	[levelfive removeFromSuperview];
	[self.adView pauseAdAutoRefresh];

	
}

I know it's really simple, but is there a way i can set it so it only detects touches in all of the level views(levelone, leveltwo). Because it crashes whenever I touch the screen in the gameOver view because the view is already up. This is probably very simple but i really don't know how to do it.

Well, I did some looking. Now, I'm a beginner and I'm not on my mac so here goes

Get the UITouch object

//Get the UI Touch object
UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];

The UITouch object has a property called view. According to Apple, view = The view in which the touch initially occurred. (read-only)

That may be able to help you out.

Apple api for UITouch - UITouch Class Reference

What you have here seems to be a very strange way to do things. It might help if you can show more code and explain what you are trying to do. Why not make your level views respond to touches and set the parent view as a delegate so it knows which view it needs to remove?

It is part of the game that is in the app, but it still detects touches in the main menu and the view gameOver, which is getting called up whenever you touch the screen. So, I would like it to only work the the game part of my app, if you can even do that.

If you could explain the hierarchy of your views it would help.

Hi, thanks for responding but I figured out that it was because I was releasing a label and the gametimer I was using.
