Question

this subject is similar to another i wrote BUT is different .
strange things happen to me lately with cocos,things are just deleted .

i have a NSString value in cocos2d class, that is not nil inside animation function.
but when animation is done ,and she calls another function, it becomes null in that function.

-(void)animation
{   
    // animation loops .....
    //......
    CCAnimate *Action = [CCAnimate actionWithAnimation:dollAnimation];
    //calling finish animation here :
    id call=[CCCallFunc actionWithTarget:self selector:@selector(finishAnimation)]; 
    id sequence=[CCSequence actions:Action,[CCHide action],call,nil];
    [dollSprite runAction:sequence];
    basic_pic=[rowInDataBase objectAtIndex:1] ;
    NSLog(@"%@",basic_pic); 
    // here basic_pic has a good value!
}


//when animation is done(3sec) it calls this :  
    -(void)finishAnimation
    {
       NSLog(@"%@",basic_pic);    // null ! ! !
       NSLog(@"%@",rowInDataBase);    // null ! ! !


    }

how is that happen ???
basic_pic is NSString with no properties now.
i have to say that basic_pic gets his value frin array one function before animation, and when animation is being called,it still there,but next call to finish function,its gone!

Answer 1

Did you retain your basic_pic and rowInDataBase? If not, they were likely auto-released objects which got released when the current UIKit event completed.
