Cocos2d CCMenuItem not responding

Question

I'm having some trouble with have a CCMenuItem button work. I've followed all instructions/advice given in previous examples and questions, but nothing seems to work. Whenever I click the button, the image doesn't even change to the new image.

CCMenuItem *startButton = [CCMenuItemImage itemWithNormalImage:@"Start Button.png" selectedImage:@"Start Button Selected.png" target:self selector:@selector(startGame:)];
startButton.position = ccp(0, 0);
CCMenu *menu = [CCMenu menuWithItems:startButton, nil];
menu.position = ccp(winSize.width/2, winSize.height/6);
[self addChild:menu];
menu.touchEnabled = YES;

Answer 1

you probably want to use the

menu.enabled=YES;    

that property will control whether touch events are processed. The property you are using (touchEnabled) is a basic property of the CCLayer object (CCMenu extends CCLayer), and that controls whether the layer will receive touch events or not.

Although, the 'enabled' property is set to YES during initialization (its default state). It is possible that by using the other method, you are altering the propagation of touch events. Try first to comment out the line.
