So, ive go heaps of CCMenuItems that took a while to position the right way. They are added to a CCMenu.
After some reconsideration i foound that i really needed them to just be CCSprites, which is where my problem comes in.
When I change my items to just CCSprites instead of CCMenuItems, the positions of the items change. Now they are all of the sudden on the other side of the screen.
Is there an easy way of fixing this or do i need to re code my positions?
CCMenuItemSpriteIndependent: https://gist.github.com/864652 - maybe this will help you.
Maybe example can be found in CCMenuAdvanced: https://github.com/psineur/CCMenuAdvanced
I think you should try to use CCMenuItemSprite instead of CCSprite or CCMenuItem.

thanks guys
I got around to setting up my CCSprite in CCMenuItemSprites thusly:
aPink = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"apink.png"];
aPink.position = ccp(180, 144);
aPink.scale = 0.25;
aPink.tag = 8;
aPink.opacity = 150;
CCMenuItemSprite *eightTone = [CCMenuItemSprite itemFromNormalSprite:aPink selectedSprite:nil disabledSprite:nil target:self selector:@selector(dynamicsGauge:)];
//then passed to the CCMenu
CCMenu *menu = [CCMenu menuWithItems: eightTone, nil];
[self addChild:menu];For one second this seemed like the best soulution, but the images (CCSprites) that are passed to CCMenuSpriteItem have slightly distorted positions compared to when they where CCMenuItemImage's. Even after having their positions animated by a method they are still not right. Though i have not changed any of the positioning code.
I might as well explain why i need them to me CCSprites, and not CCMenuItemImages.
I need these to be buttons that react when the user first touch them, and not when the touch is released. An i don't think CCMenuItemImage will register with the dispatcher.
If there are a way to achieve this with CCMenuItemImages, i'd be very interested.
