Resuming Actions and Timers doesn't after replacing scene

Hi,

I've got a pause Button in my gameplay layer and if this button is touched,
the gameplayscene is replaced by the main menu scene. There is a resume
button in the main menu and if you touch this button the main menu scene will
be replaced with the gameplay scene.

But after replacing the gameplay scene no action is resumes, everything still stopped.
Whats going on here?
```
- (void)pauseGamePlay {
	[self.mainMenuScene prepareForPause];
	[[CCDirector sharedDirector] replaceScene:self.mainMenuScene];
}

- (void)resumeGamePlay {
	[[CCDirector sharedDirector] replaceScene:self.gameplayScene];
}
```

In my game I just dim the background via a CCColorLayer and pause/resume the director without changing scenes.

If your are using a different scene for the pause scene, have you tried pushing the pause scene and then popping it on resume (don't need to pause/resume the director this way)?
```
- (void)pauseGamePlay {
[[CCDirector sharedDirector] pushScene:[PauseScene scene]];
}

- (void)resumeGamePlay {
[[CCDirector sharedDirector] popScene];
}
```

are you using onEnter or onEnterTransitionDidFinish in the new scene? if so remember to call;
```
[super onEnter]
```
or
```
[super onEnterTransitionDidFinish]
```

hmm the onEnter method of my sprites which are moved via actions is only called for the first sprite of the spritesheet.
Why could this happen?
After resuming to the scene, the attached menu with the pause button doesn't work anymore.

I located the problem, its in the onEnter method of my sprites:
I added the sprites to the CCTouchDispatcher, even if they were still a delegate of the CCTouchDispatcher.

[[CCTouchDispatcher sharedDispatcher] addTargetedDelegate:self priority:0 swallowsTouches:YES];

The Pause menu works now, but the actions of the sprites aren't continued.
Does the actions of the sprites should be continued automatically or do I have to kick them manually off?
