Question

So I created a class CommonMethods with class method:

+ (CCMenu *)createMenu:(NSString *)menuName atPosition:(CGPoint)position {
    CCMenuItemImage *menuBlock = [CCMenuItemImage itemWithNormalImage:menuName selectedImage:menuName target:self selector:@selector(choose:)];
    CCMenu *menuBlockMenu = [CCMenu menuWithItems:menuBlock, nil];
    menuBlockMenu.position = position;
    return menuBlockMenu;
}

Now in my MainClass which contains choose: method, I create a menu:

CCMenu *regularBlockMenu = [CommonMethods createMenu:kbRegularBlock atPosition:position];
[self addChild:regularBlockMenu];

My program crashes when I tap the menu because it doesn’t understand selector call. How do I implement this? I want to create a CommonMethods method because I will use this method over and over in many classes.

Thanks for your help.

You want to have a method choose in class MainClass? if so, you need modify your createMenu function a bit. Try this,

+ (CCMenu *)createMenu:(NSString *)menuName atPosition:(CGPoint)position forTarget:(id)target 
{
    CCMenuItemImage *menuBlock = [CCMenuItemImage itemWithNormalImage:menuName selectedImage:menuName target:target selector:@selector(choose:)];
    CCMenu *menuBlockMenu = [CCMenu menuWithItems:menuBlock, nil];
    menuBlockMenu.position = position;
    return menuBlockMenu;
}

then in MainClass:

CCMenu *regularBlockMenu = [CommonMethods createMenu:kbRegularBlock atPosition:position forTarget:self];
[self addChild:regularBlockMenu];

and you need to define -(void)choose:(id)sender; in MainClass

So what this is doing is setting the target of choose: to be an instance of MainClass, rather than CommonMethods.
