CCMenuItem and subclasses not triggering selectors

Hi all,

I've got a couple CCMenuItem subclasses that are supposed to trigger selectors when they're touched but they're not. Here's an example of what I use for the item:

[CCMenuItemFont itemFromString:@"Continue" target:self selector:@selector(onContinue:)];

I have selectors on an CCMenuItemImage as well.

And the selector:
```
-(void) onContinue:(id)sender
{
  NSLog(@"continue");
}
```
Everything is showing up in the menu in the correct position. I can't tell if it's not getting the touches at all, or if my selectors are broken somehow. As an aside, touches do work in general. I can do a replaceScene with the proper game scene where nodes can get touches without issues (though to be fair, I use the TouchDisplatcher in that scene).

I've heard that cocos2d is finicky with selectors... what's the best way to determine where the problem is?

did you removed the delegate in the replaced scene?

-(void) onExit {
	CCLOG(@"%@: %@", NSStringFromSelector(_cmd), self);
	[[CCTouchDispatcher sharedDispatcher] removeDelegate:self];
	[super onExit];
}

I haven't replaced any scenes yet, so I don't see why I should remove any delegates. This is within the very first runWithScene: scene.

I resolved this.

Lesson: don't use a big background image as MenuItemImage, it'll take away all your touches even if it's in the background.
