   Hi!

   I copied the code from the sceneTest to pause my game.

   But i am having a problem:

   if i pause my game by touching a button i am showing an uialert (and pausing the director)to let the user press a button to dismiss it and resume the director.

   I implemented the applicationWillResignActive and DidbecomeActive in my delegate.

   i do any of those it works fine, but if i pause my game, and show a uialert and then (while the game is paused) i receive a call, onBecomeActive, the director will be resumed and the uilalert will be still there...(my game resumes and i don't have control over it)

   So.. how do you handle this?
   I would like to solve this by asking in the ApplicationDidBecomeActive if game->paused (i have a variable for this already) but i don't know to i could access it from the delegate...

   Thanks again!

   in onBecomeActive first check to see if your uialert is active, if not resume game, otherwise keep the game paused.

   I am creating the uialert in my gameScene, and releasing it after showing it.
   Even if a made it an instance variable of my gameScene, how would i reach it from the delegate.?

   I thought about making my pause variable a member of the delegate that way a could get it from itself and the gameScene, i think.
   Then onDidBecomeActive if(!paused) resume director.

   I will try it when i get home :)

   yes I would make a paused variable that you could check in -onBecomeActive. But also maybe you could ask your game window isKeyWindow - if NO then an alert is still in front.

   That did the trick, thanks!

   I am having an issue with sound now, if my game is playing or paused and i get a call, when the game resumes the sound is gone. Both from CocosDenshion and GbMusicTrack library.
   Do you know if i should do something else besides pausing and resuming director to make my sound still work after that?

   Youre welcome. Steve O. is the sound expert here, he'll know!

   I mean, after a call under any circumstance when returning to the game, background music (from GBMusicTrack) and sound effect (from cocosDenshion) won't play anymore. Even if i return to main menu and start again... (i am initializing sound in my gameScene on init)
