You’re welcome, James! I’m glad it helped. Cocos2d has changed quite a bit from when I started Occurro! Even the difference between the MultiTest sample and the current version of Cocos2d is pretty big. I highly recommend grabbing the latest copy of Cocos2d from their website. Once you do, install the templates and start playing!

I just re-released Occurro! with a big update. It incorporates the latest version of Cocos2d (version 1.0rc3).

Have fun

Er… late night typing idiotic…. corrected. Thank you! You multi-test skeleton taught me core Cocos2D concepts in a little under 1 hour. =) I now… understand these critical concepts and I’ve moving forward in my dream. =)

Andy-

I just tried to compile MultiTest in the latest SDK (iOS4 release SDK #1) and I get about 20 errors. So, I can't check on the problem you're seeing. Sorry.

If you're using the web view for online scores, I really recommend ditching my method here & using OpenFeint or Plus+. They're both very easy to use & widely loved by users. Game Center is coming this fall, so that's something to think about too.

I'm trying your code in Multitest.zip and I see that in menuCallback2 it's supposed to be a timed transition, however the webview instead appears instantly. Have you found any way to solve that?

@Kent I do actually use scenes. Multiplex layers didn't let me use transitions between scenes. Multiplex layers are a little easier to use, but I think you have more flexibility if you don't use them. If you look through the code, when I switch between layers, I'm actually creating a new scene & attaching the layer to the scene, then calling replaceScene. There are certainly different ways to do it, but that works best for me.

I am looking at the architecture of the framework and am interested in your choice to use layers basically as your control flow object instead of creating multiple scene class instances. I am not presuming in anyway that you are wrong in your decision I am just taking an unofficial survey of Cocos2d usage styles. I am assuming you only have 1 scene and that in that scene you are using multiplex layers.
