Question

I’m developing an app on cocos2d. I heard it is recommend to make my controls using CCMenu class. So, I made a button, set target and selector. But selector colled only when I unpress my button. how can I make it be called at rhe moment I pressed the button?

#import "Button.h"

@implementation Button

+ (id)buttonWithImage:(NSString*)file atPosition:(CGPoint)position target:(id)target selector:(SEL)selector {
    CCMenu *menu = [CCMenu menuWithItems:[ButtonItem buttonWithImage:file target:target selector:selector], nil];
    menu.position = position;
    return menu;
}
@end

@implementation ButtonItem

+ (id)buttonWithImage:(NSString*)file target:(id)target selector:(SEL)selector {
    return [[[self alloc] initWithImage:file target:target selector:selector] autorelease];
}


- (id)initWithImage:(NSString*)file target:(id)target selector:(SEL)selector {
    if(self = [super initWithTarget:target selector:selector]) {

        back = [[CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"DPad_BG.png"] retain];
        back.anchorPoint = ccp(0,0);
        backPressed = [[CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"DPad_BG.png"] retain];
        backPressed.anchorPoint = ccp(0,0);
        [self addChild:back];

        self.contentSize = back.contentSize;

        CCSprite* image = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:file];
        [self addChild:image z:1];
        image.position = ccp(self.contentSize.width / 2, self.contentSize.height / 2);

    }
    return self;
}

-(void) selected {
    [self removeChild:back cleanup:NO];
    [self addChild:backPressed];
    [super selected];
}

-(void) unselected {
    [self removeChild:backPressed cleanup:NO];
    [self addChild:back];
    [super unselected];
}

// this prevents double taps
- (void)activate {
    [super activate];
    [self setIsEnabled:NO];
    [self schedule:@selector(resetButton:) interval:0.5];
}

- (void)resetButton:(ccTime)dt {
    [self unschedule:@selector(resetButton:)];
    [self setIsEnabled:YES];
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [back release];
    [backPressed release];
    [super dealloc];
}

@end

The only thing I needed is place [super activate]; to -(void) selected and remove it from - (void)activate
