stopActionByTag not working but stopAllactions does work?

Hello,

For some reason calling stopActionByTag on my sprite will not stop the action, yet stopAallActions does stop the action, I assume this is not the correct behavior?. What I am doing is the following:

id action = [RotateBy actionWithDuration:1.0f angle 45.0f];
[action setTag:3];
[mySprite runAction:action];

//Stop the action at a later time
[mySprite stopActionByTag:3]; //This does not stop the action
[mySprite stopAllActions]; //This does stop the action

Is this a bug?. I am using cocos2d 0.8.2.

If you retain the action I think it would work as you expect it to.

Doesn't the method runAction send the action a retain message?.

Also I am using this code:

id scale = [RepeatForever actionWithAction:[ScaleBy actionWithDuration:0.25 scale:0.80f]];
[scale setTag:1];

[mySprite stopActionByTag:1]; //This DOES work.

I am guessing actionWithAction does send a retain message?

EDIT: After checking the API it does say for runAction:

Warning:
Starting from v0.8 actions don't retain their target anymore.

EDIT 2: After sending my action a retain message the stopActionByTag still does NOT work.

Are you still having trouble with this?

I tried the code similar to what you included in your first post:
```
id rot = [RotateBy actionWithDuration:1.0f angle:45.0f];
[rot setTag:1];
[mysprite runAction:rot];
```
and then on a touch: [mysprite stopActionByTag:1];

It worked fine with no problems.

Yes it did not work, so I just decided to do stop allactions... I have no idea why it won't work. Yet I have exactly the same code that you have, but for some reason it will not work.

I am thinking it could be because I am trying to stop it right away, or because I run another action right away. However stopAllActions does work.

//Prog1

-(void)gameLogic:(ccTime)dt
{
id actionMove = [CCMoveTo actionWithDuration:1.0 position:ccp(windowSize.width/2-400, actualY)];
[actionMove setTag:6];
[self schedule:@selector(update:)];
[hitBullet runAction:actionMove];
}

-(void)update:(ccTime)dt
{
if ( (CGRectIntersectsRect(hitRect, playerRect)) )
{
[[[self getActionByTag:6] retain] autorelease];
[hitBullet stopActionByTag: 6];
}
}
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
//prog2

-(void)gameLogic:(ccTime)dt
{
id actionMove = [CCMoveTo actionWithDuration:1.0 position:ccp(windowSize.width/2-400, actualY)];
id hitBulletAction = [CCSequence actionWithDuration:(intervalforEnemyshoot)];
id hitBulletSeq = [CCSequence actions: hitBulletAction, actionMove, nil];
[hitBulletSeq setTag:5];

[self schedule:@selector(update:)];
[hitBullet runAction:hitBulletSeq];
}

-(void)update:(ccTime)dt
{
if ( (CGRectIntersectsRect(hitRect, playerRect)) )
{
[[[self getActionByTag:5] retain] autorelease];
[hitBullet stopActionByTag: 5];
}
}

While prog1 is working prog2 is not working ? I think the both are same. But why the two stopActions are working differently in two prog1 and prog2 ? I mean the actions are stopped in prog1 but the actions are not stopping in prog2 ?
thank You.
