Hello guys,

I recently made an update to one of our apps but had problems with OpenFeint and Cocos2d scenes

Thing is - I want the app to show the Approval Screen on the first run of the app. However, I cant get it to work in a nice way - to just pop up after the jingle, without even going to the game menu. the problem - it either doesnt show or shows for a split second and then the Cocos director switches scenes and its not visible

I messed around a bit with it and found a dirty solution, used it and uploaded binary to apple, but I really dont like it. I used the Cocos2d Delay action to show the approval screen after .5 second from the OnEnter() call. it works, but it's a messy solution, dont want to use it in future games/updates

so how should I do it properly ?

I do this by
```
[[Director sharedDirector] runWithScene:[MenuScene node]];
[self initOpenFeint];
```
Perhaps if you go ahead and switch to the scene and then show OpenFeint.

interesting, cause that's what I did but it only flickered and was gone...

ok, maybe more details then:

1) runWithScene - here I run the introScene where we play our jingle
2) after the jingle it goes to main menu scene using ReplaceScene
3) in the main menu scene OnEnter() I tried initializing OF using:

NSDictionary* settings = (...);
OFDelegatesContainer* delegates = (...);
[OpenFeint initializeWithProductKey:(..)];
just like it is done in the OF example I DLed from their site

result - it shows immediately for just a moment but then Director switches from Intro to Menu scene and OF screen disappears

so I do it like this instead:
[self runAction: [Sequence actions:[DelayTime actionWithDuration:1.0f], [CallFunc actionWithTarget:self selector:@selector(tester)],nil]]; // tester 2 is the OF init as above

it works, but I know it's an improper way, that's why I'm asking for a better one

make sure you:

- (void)dashboardWillAppear
{
[[Director sharedDirector] pause];
}

If you do that, your first scene should pause immediately after initialization and enter..

oh, that sounds really good :)

though I'm not sure of one thing and I couldn't find it in the documentation:
is Approval Screen considered a Dashboard ?

yes, any of the full screen open feint views that call that function on the delegate.
