   Now in the right section. :)

   Hi there,

   I'm trying to create a standard Menu and i wanted to add Submenus.

   After taking several approaches i really dont know how to get this right.

   My current approach is to create serveral Scenes for the SubMenus and change to those Scenes after the user clicks an Item. Is it possible to reroute the menu-Callbacks to a general GameMenu-Class which holds all the MenuScenes? The function MenuItemFont itemFromString accepts just a target from type Scene. Is this approach feasible/possible?

   Another approach might be to add more child-Layer to one Scene and change the visibility or add/remove childs on the fly.

   Both approaches end in a crash...

   Any Ideas/ Hints /Solutions?

   Thx in Advance

   I didn't really get what you mean...
   MenuItemFont accepts a CocosNode as a target, so layers are included.
   You can add children directly to your menu: [Menu addChild: myItem];

   Could you please elaborate about what you're trying to achieve.

   Hi.

   My Goal is to Create a Menu with the follwowing structure

   - StartGame (Changes Scene to GameScene)
   - Options (Changes to Submenu Options)
   - Multiplayer (Changes to Submenu Multiplayer)
   - AboutUs (Shows some Info)

   How can i achieve the Submenus (Options,Multiplayer) a Click in the Mainmenu should Result in a Change to the Submenus.

   My first approach was to Create a class which derives from Scene (As in an Example i found in the net). For a flat menu (e.g just the MainMenu) it works well. I created the Submenus seperately and added them to seperate Layers. I planned to add/remove them according to which Menu/Submenu the user Switched. This resulted in a freeze of the simulator.

   My next approach was to Implement a Management-Class which has serveral Scenes as Members (for each SubMenu one Scene). I planned to access the director through classMembers to change the Scenes. The Problem here is that the Selector for the method which should be executed does not accept the Classmember as a MenuItem-Callback. I should mention that the Same Function was used which was correctly executed in the first approach when the Class was derived from Scene.

   Long Speech but essentially I'm searching for a way to implement a Menu with submenus which is working. :)
