Question

A CCMenuItemImage will call the selector after the touch that was pressing it releases it.

However, is it not possible to make it call the selector as soon as the touch presses it? This is to create a faster effect in the menu.

Answer 1

subclass CCMenuItemImage and process the event

-(void) selected{
    // do you thing : for example you could have a target:selector pair of 
    // properties added in your implementation.
    [super selected];
}

i use that to detect a long touch and pop a contextual tooltip window (for example).
