Question

I have a Cocos2d scene (CCLayer) with a CCMenu. I implement the dealloc as

- (void) dealloc {
    [menu release];
    menu = nil;

    [super dealloc];
}

when i use shared director to replace the scene with an other, it load the second scene and then program crash in dealloc, especially in

[super dealloc]; //Thread1: Program received signal: "EXC_BAD_ACCESS".

The call to replace the scene is

[[CCDirector sharedDirector] replaceScene:
     [CCTransitionFade transitionWithDuration:0.5f scene:[SomeOtherScene scene]]];

Why is this happens? Should i call [super dealloc] or not?

Answer 1

I think you need to set menu to nil THEN release it, that may be your issue. And to answer your second question yes you definitely should call [super dealloc] or it could cause more issues.
