Need help in resolving the simple cocos2d error? - cocos2d-iphone

Question

I am using following code:
// Add the stuff from below!
CCSprite* background = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:#"background-1.png"];
background.tag = 1;
background.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0);
[self addChild:background];
[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] addSpriteFramesWithFile:
#"wave1.plist"];
CCSpriteBatchNode *spriteSheet = [CCSpriteBatchNode
batchNodeWithFile:#"wave1.png"];
[self addChild:spriteSheet];
NSMutableArray *walkAnimFrames = [NSMutableArray array];
for(int i = 1; i <= 8; ++i) {
[walkAnimFrames addObject:
[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] spriteFrameByName:
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"wave-r-l-000%d.png", i]]];
//wave-r-l-0001
}
CCAnimation *walkAnim = [CCAnimation
animationWithFrames:walkAnimFrames delay:0.1f];
CGSize winSize = [CCDirector sharedDirector].winSize;
self.bear = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:#"bear1.png"];
_bear.position = ccp(winSize.width/2, winSize.height/2);
self.walkAction = [CCRepeatForever actionWithAction:
[CCAnimate actionWithAnimation:walkAnim restoreOriginalFrame:NO]];
[_bear runAction:_walkAction];
[spriteSheet addChild:_bear];
But unfortunately it gives following error:

Answer 1

I know the topic is a bit old but it might help some people.
The error comes from this line:
self.bear = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:#"bear1.png"];
TestBear[205:707] cocos2d: CCSpriteFrameCache: Frame 'bear1.png' not found
It means that the CCSpriteFrameCache does not containt sprime frame named "bear1.png". Here you add only 1 plist file ("wave1.plist") and and it contains no sprime frame named "bear1.png". So check you plist file and re-generate it if necessary.
An another common error is to use "spriteWithSpriteFrameName:" instead of "spriteWithFile:" if your sprite is not inside a spritesheet.
I hope i'll help.
