Is there any way to get the Parent object from child object?

For example, is it possible to do this:

[mySprite.parent removeChild:mySprite];

What I want to do is write a generic function for the object to figure out who its parent is and remove itself from the parent e.g. in the case of multiple sprite sheets.

Hence all I need is the object itself.

That way should work, there is also a direct way to do this from the child node, it should be something like this [MySprite removeFromParentAndCleanup:NO];

Thank you. I will try it out once I get home.

removeFromParentAndCleanup: just calls [parent_ removeChild:self cleanup:cleanup], so you can go either route and either benefit from potential overriding or one less API call (that could, in the future, be changed). I'd probably go the removeFromParentAndCleanup route as xemus noted.

Use [_parent removeChild: mySprtie ];

This will work...
