multiple view creation and removal

[Glych002]

Hi.
This is what I am trying to do. I am making a game that shoots by pressing a fire button. I want an image to be created every time the button is pressed. That part is easy. The problem is how do I track images so I can remove them individually?

What I am finding is that if I removeFromSuperview with a timer, all the views are removed including the ones that have just been created.

Is there a way to number views or images with a tag number or something so I can remove any view/image I need to.

For example: User presses the shoot button ten times and ten images come out. Now the enemy only touches images 4, 5, and 6, then those three images return a unique number so I can remove them and the rest continue on their paths without being removed.

CGRect myImageRect = CGRectMake(-x + Xposition,-y + Yposition, weaponSriteSize, weaponSriteSize);
    CGRect myImageRect1 = CGRectMake(number / num, number2 / num, weaponSize, weaponSize);
	cropView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:myImageRect];
	UIImageView *myImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:myImageRect1];
	[myImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",weaponImage]]];
    
	myImage.opaque = YES; // explicitly opaque for performance
    cropView.clipsToBounds = YES;
	[cropView addSubview:myImage];
    
    [weaponDistance addSubview:cropView];
    
	[myImage release];
    [cropView release];

    
    
    
    [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:.5 target:self selector:@selector(weaponStop) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
      
    
}
- (void)weaponStop {
    
    [cropView removeFromSuperview];
    
   
}

I have removed the code that moves the projectile/image for simplicity.

the "myImage" has a "tag" property, so you can set it to whatever integer value

then you can use [[cropView viewWithTag: someTagValue] removeFromSuperview] to remove an individual image

Awesome, perfect, thanks!

I knew it was something easy but I just could not figure it out.
