   Label* playerName = [Label labelWithString:@"TEST" fontName:@"Helvetica" fontSize:19];
   [playerName setPosition: ccp(160,465)];
   [self addChild:playerName];

   I want to change the playerName once the user clicks a button.
   I've tried

   [playerName setString:@"newName"];

   but it didn't work.......

   How do I do this ?

   I think all you need to do is "draw" the label again after you do your setString. I don't have the syntax in front of me.

   Doing setString should change it inmediatelly.
   I think that you should make your label an instance variable in order to do that.

   or add it with a tag and then retrieve it like:

   Label * label = (Label *)[self getChildByTag];

   and then

   [label setString:@"newName"];
