Are you sure the value of "f" you're passing into removechild is the same value that you got back from [ccsprite spritewithfile: ] ? From the snippet you posted "f" looks like it's a local variable and only usable inside the method where you declared it.

You'll probably have to make f an instance variable (declared in the .h file, between the brackets of the interface) so that you can use the same variable in all methods of your class.

Hi

f is global and is already declared in.h
as ccsprite *f;

and in .mm its like
f=[ccsprite spritewithfile:@"a.png"];
[self addchild f z:0];

Post the real code where you add and remove the sprite, and the declaration for f. If it's really global then you'll have problem when you create more than one object of this type.


You could try adding this right after adding the sprite, and again before removing the sprite, just to make sure you have the right one. If they don't match then you are removing the wrong sprite.

NSLog(@"f is %@", f );
NSLog(@"f is at address %ul", f );

i had declared a timer
[self schedule: @selector(step];
now i want to remove this when game ends

so i am doing this
[self unschedule: @selector(step];
it work only when 1st time game ends and rest of time i can see the value i am passing in step()

code is somewhat like this
game start()
{[self schedule: @selector(step];
}
then
step()
{
if(gameEnd)
{
[self over];
}
}

over()
{
[self unschedule: @selector(step];
sceneChange
}

1) What are schedule and unschedule? I don't know those methods.
2) Please use [code] [ /code] tags
3) Please explain "rest of time i can see the value i am passing in step()" -- I don't understand that that means.

Stopping an NSTimer should be as simple as [timer invalidate], timer=nil as long as timer is a pointer to the NSTimer you're trying to stop.

Hi smasher
1) schedule and unschedule are cocos2d timer event (NSTimer replacement )
2)rest of time means after 1 retry
