initialization of UIIMage into touchesBegan

[arfius]

hi @ all,
I have the follow problem:
I declared in my interface section of header file a image UIIMage * myimage;

In the touchesBegan into the .m file, I initialize
the myimage using

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(viewDisegno.frame.size );
[myimageview.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, myimageview.frame.size.width, myimageview.frame.size.height)];

myimage=UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext( );
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

..
After I use the variable myimage in a method IBACTION to set the image of a UIImageView :
myimageview.image=myimage;
Now I receive a signal: “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”

Thanks for your help
Arfius

Check the docs:
UIKit Function Reference

Return Value: An autoreleased image object containing the contents of the current bitmap graphics context.

The image is probably getting autoreleased before you use it. You need to retain it until you use it, and then release it.
