cocos2d-iphone: cocosbuilder: CCScrollView How to position - cocos2d-iphone

I am using CCScrollView provided by cocosBuilder. I am trying to position it in the center of the screen using this code:
CCSprite *testSrprite = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:#"category-shop1"];
testSprite.position = ccp(0,0);
CCScrollView *test = [[CCScrollView alloc] initWithViewSize:CGSizeMake(200, 200) container:testSrprite];
test.position = ccp(winsize.width/2,winsize.height/2);
[self addChild:test];
But this is not positioning the layer. Is it a bug in CCScrollView?

CCMenuItemSprite's alternative in Cocos2d v3

In Cocos2d 2.0 I used below code to use single image for normal and selected image with colour change on selection.
CCSprite *twitter_1 = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:FRAME_MM_TWR_1];
CCSprite *twitter_2 = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:FRAME_MM_TWR_2];
twitter_2.color = ccc3(128,128,128);
CCMenuItemSprite *twitterBtn = [CCMenuItemSprite itemWithNormalSprite:twitter_1
selectedSprite:twitter_2
target:self
selector:#selector(twitterBtnPress:) ];
In Cocos2d v3, I can use CCButton as alternative, but how to change selected frame colour?
CCSpriteFrameCache *cache = [CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache];
CCButton * twitterBtn = [CCButton buttonWithTitle:#""
spriteFrame:[cache spriteFrameByName:FRAME_MM_TWR_1]
highlightedSpriteFrame:[cache spriteFrameByName:FRAME_MM_TWR_1]
disabledSpriteFrame:nil];
twitterBtn = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
twitterBtn.position = ccp(0.5f, 0.5f);
[twitterBtn setTarget:self selector:#selector(playBtnPress:)];
[self addChild: twitterBtn];
Now in Cocos2d v3, how to use CCSprite for button and change colour?
You can use the method:
- (void) setBackgroundColor:(CCColor*)color forState:(CCControlState)state
of CCButton to set a different background color for the different states.

Cocos2d Screen capture and get sprite from UIImage

I'm very headache about this problem, I'm using these code for capturing a part of the screen
-(UIImage *) glToUIImage {
userphotoCount++;
[CCDirector sharedDirector].nextDeltaTimeZero = YES;
CGSize winSize = [CCDirector sharedDirector].winSize;
CCLayerColor* whitePage = [CCLayerColor layerWithColor:ccc4(255, 255, 255, 0) width:winSize.width height:winSize.height];
whitePage.position = ccp(winSize.width/2, winSize.height/2);
CCRenderTexture* rtx = [CCRenderTexture renderTextureWithWidth:815 height:532];
[rtx begin];
[whitePage visit];
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] runningScene] visit];
[rtx end];
return [rtx getUIImageFromBuffer];
}
I can get my UIImage by
image = [self glToUIImage];
Then I try to use this code to generate a sprite by the UIImage
-(void) ImageSprite{
image = [self glToUIImage];
userAns = [CCSprite spriteWithCGImage:image.CGImage key:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"photoCap%d.png", userphotoCount]];
userAns.position=ccp(780,410);
userAns.scale=0.6;
[self addChild:userAns z:20];
}
I can get image by these code at first time, but after I changed the screen's contents and use these code to generate new sprite(new UIImage) with the new contents, I'm failed.... the image doesn't change to new image...
How can I get the new image sprite when every time I run the "imageSprite" code?
You can get the new image sprite, but you must to change key
[CCSprite spriteWithCGImage:image.CGImage key:key];

Issues with creating a CCParallaxNode in cocos2d?

I'm using a CCParallaxNode for a scrolling background in my GameLayer and I'm getting a bunch of errors and I can't figure out why.
"Initializer element is not a compile-time constant" and also "Unk
#implementation Background
// Load the sprites for each parallax layer, from background to foreground.
CCSprite* para1 = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:#"color.png"];
CCSprite* para2= [CCSprite spriteWithFile:#"ship-hd.png"];
CCSprite* para3 = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:#"twit.png"];
CCSprite* para4 = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:#"Start.png"];
// Set the correct offsets depending on the screen and image sizes.
para1.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0, 1);
para2.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0, 1);
para3.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0.6f);
para4.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0);
CGPoint topOffset = CGPointMake(0, screenSize.height);
CGPoint midOffset = CGPointMake(0, screenSize.height / 2);
CGPoint downOffset = CGPointZero;
// Create a parallax node and add the sprites to it.
CCParallaxNode* paraNode = [CCParallaxNode node];
[paraNode addChild:para1 z:1 parallaxRatio:CGPointMake(0.5f, 0) ositionOffset:topOffset];
[paraNode addChild:para2 z:2 parallaxRatio:CGPointMake(1, 0) positionOffset:topOffset];
[paraNode addChild:para3 z:4 parallaxRatio:CGPointMake(2, 0) positionOffset:midOffset];
[paraNode addChild:para4 z:3 parallaxRatio:CGPointMake(3, 0) positionOffset:downOffset];
[self addChild:paraNode z:0 tag:ParallaxSceneTagParallaxNode];
// Move the parallax node to show the parallaxing effect.
CCMoveBy* move1 = [CCMoveBy actionWithDuration:5 position:CGPointMake(−160, 0)];
CCMoveBy* move2 = [CCMoveBy actionWithDuration:15 position:CGPointMake(160, 0)];
CCSequence* sequence = [CCSequence actions:move1, move2, nil];
CCRepeatForever* repeat = [CCRepeatForever actionWithAction:sequence];
[paraNode runAction:repeat];
#end
You need to enclose your code in an -(id)init method, like this:
#implementation Background
- (id)init
{
if (self = [super init]) {
// Load the sprites for each parallax layer, from background to foreground.
CCSprite* para1 = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:#"color.png"];
// ... the rest of your code ... //
}
return self;
}
#end

How to Convert a CCSprite image to UIImage?

As the title, I have mentioned the code below
CCSprite *sprite = (CCSprite *)node;
CCTexture2D *texture2d = [sprite texture];
How can I get a UIImage *p from sprite?
In your case just add next methood into your class:
- (UIImage *) imageFromSprite :(CCSprite *)sprite
{
int tx = sprite.contentSize.width;
int ty = sprite.contentSize.height;
CCRenderTexture *renderer = [CCRenderTexture renderTextureWithWidth:tx height:ty];
sprite.anchorPoint = CGPointZero;
[renderer begin];
[sprite visit];
[renderer end];
return [renderer getUIImage];
}
how to use:
CCSprite *sprite = (CCSprite *)node;
UIImage *p = [self imageFromSprite:sprite]
uhh...
I think this is a better to way. Add this as a category on CCNode.
-(UIImage*)image {
CCRenderTexture* renderer = [CCRenderTexture renderTextureWithWidth:self.contentSize.width height:self.contentSize.height];
const CGPoint ANCHORBEFORE = self.anchorPoint;
self.anchorPoint = CGPointZero;
[renderer begin];
[self visit];
[renderer end];
self.anchorPoint = ANCHORBEFORE;
return [renderer getUIImage];
}
If you are using cocos2d 2.x, render sprite into CCRenderTexture and call getUIImage method of that render texture.
By looking at the source code of both CCSprite and CCTexture2D you can see that the image is used only for creating the texture data and the image object is not kept but temporarily used.
CCTexture2D source :
http://code.google.com/p/cocos2d-iphone/source/browse/trunk/cocos2d/CCTexture2D.m?r=1882
CCSprite source :
http://code.google.com/p/cocos2d-iphone/source/browse/trunk/cocos2d/CCSprite.m?r=1747
Look in the init methods that use CGImageRef

cocos2d Children sprite collision detection with parent sprite

Hi stackoverflow community!
How do you detect a children sprite collision with a parent sprite in cocos2d?
Currently I have my codes like this:
CGSize screenSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector]winSize];
parentJumper = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:#"inviBtn.png"];
jumper = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:#"jumperRight.png"];
plat = [[Platform alloc]init];
plat = [Platform spriteWithFile:#"platformBlack.png"];
plat.position = ccp(160,100);
[[UIAccelerometer sharedAccelerometer] setUpdateInterval:(1.0/60)];
jumper.anchorPoint = ccp(0.5, 0);
jumper.position = ccp(0, 20);
parentJumper.position = ccp(screenSize.width/2, 0);
[self addChild:plat];
[self addChild:parentJumper];
[parentJumper addChild:jumper];
Now how do I detect the collision between "jumper" & "plat"?
Thanks for your help!
Usually you can check collision like this:
if(CGRectIntersectsRect([jumper boundingBox], [plat boundingBox])) {
//Handle collision<br>
}
