   Hi all,
   I'm trying to create a lite version of my game and am currently stuck with integration of AdMob. I want a behavior much like the one in Sapus Tongue Lite - the add should be displayed on the main screen, and disappear once I start the game.

   I added the code responsible for AdMob ad in my Main Scene, and by changing the default didReceiveAd method I managed to make the add show up; but the ad remains there for other scenes as well and does not get removed once I change the scene.

   The code that inserts the ad on my screen is the following:
   
- (void)didReceiveAd:(AdMobView *)adView {
NSLog(@"AdMob: Did receive ad");
// get the view frame
CGSize winsize = [[Director sharedDirector] winSize];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake (0,0,winsize.width,winsize.height);

   // put the ad at the top of the screen
adMobAd.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, frame.size.width, 48);
[[[Director sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:adMobAd];
[refreshTimer invalidate];
refreshTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:AD_REFRESH_PERIOD target:self selector:@selector(refreshAd:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}

   also, in dealloc method I'm trying to remove the ad but with no success:
   
- (void)dealloc {
[adMobAd removeFromSuperview];
[adMobAd release];
[super dealloc];
}


   Any ideas?

   Your refreshTimer is probably retaining your scene/layer, since it is the timer's target. The class reference doesn't make this explicit but I believe that generally timers retain their targets. Thus, my guess is that dealloc is never being called, so you're leaking memory and your ad is never being removed.

   Adding [refreshTimer invalidate]; to the class' onExit method should solve your problem.

   Thanks lindgrenM, you put me on the right track indeed. I wasn't supposed to put my release call in dealloc but in onExit method.

   Just to help others, here's my new code which seems to work:
   

   - (void)onEnter {
   	adMobAd = [AdMobView requestAdWithDelegate:self];
   	[adMobAd retain];
   	[super onEnter];
   }
   
   - (void)onExit {
   	[adMobAd removeFromSuperview];
   	[adMobAd release];
   	[super onExit];
   }
