Hi
I am using an atlasSprite and have applied the repeat for ever animation with call back on it. When the game terminates i used to call stopAllActions then remove the object from layer. But Atlas Sprite is not releasing.As after removing from the layer its retain count is still 2.

Hi all,
I too am having this problem. Currently, I have 6 animated AtlasSprites in my game scene, each in a fixed position, running a RepeatForever animation.
When my game scene is not needed anymore, I call stopAllActions on each of my AtlasSprites and, for some reason, the retainCount on the AtlasSprites does not always decrease, causing the AtlasSprite to be leaked. Curiously, the retainCount does usually decrease properly (on an average run, only 1 of my 6 AtlasSprites does not release properly), and if I check the numberOfRunningActions, it always returns 0 after calling stopAllActions (even in cases where the retainCount did not decrease)...
Hope this description makes sense, this has been driving me mad for two evenings now.
Sajjad, did you find a solution to this problem?
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? (I am using cocos2d 0.8.1).
Here is my animation action code (self is a subclass of AtlasSprite):
AtlasAnimation *testAnimation = [AtlasAnimation animationWithName: @"test" delay: 0.05];
[testAnimation addFrameWithRect: CGRectMake(32 * 0, 270, 32, 37)];
[testAnimation addFrameWithRect: CGRectMake(32 * 1, 270, 32, 37)];
[testAnimation addFrameWithRect: CGRectMake(32 * 2, 270, 32, 37)];
[testAnimation addFrameWithRect: CGRectMake(32 * 3, 270, 32, 37)];
[[ActionManager sharedManager] addAction: [RepeatForever actionWithAction: [Animate actionWithAnimation: testAnimation restoreOriginalFrame: NO]] target: self paused: NO];
Thanks in advance,
Mike
I'm bumping this because I'm having a similar problem. I have bullet AtlasSprites that have weird retain counts. When releasing it from my mgr & array, sometimes, about 1 time out of 10, it has a retain count of 1. Sometimes, it's even 2.
Is there a way to know what's retaining it?
I've looked at this for that last 3 hours and retraced every step, put lots of logs and I can't find out what's happening.

Just a quick FYI, I too am still having this problem and have posted sample code to reproduce it in this thread:
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/1496
Let me know if anyone knows anything.

The more I search, the more I think this is a cocos2d bug. I can't let it go because in the dealloc method of my bullet, I release the particle effects and it needs to be done or else I have a floating "smoke generator' that stays there forever.
For the moment, I have to rely on this:
while([bullet retainCount] !=2) [bullet release];Obviously, this sometimes crashes, but at least I can continue testing other stuff for now.
