I have one layer called alayer, and there is a button called abutton, when click the button, another layer called blayer will show in alayer, not replaceScene, please look at the following code, alayer.m -(void)abuttonclicked:(id)sender { blayer *blayer = [blayer node]; blayer.position = ccp(1,1); [self addChild:blayer]; } blayer.m has a button called bbutton and string value called bstring, I want to click the b button, it will close blayer (remove blayer from alayer), and pass the string value bstring to alayer, please look at following code, -(void)bbuttonclicked:(id)sender { // how can do here to close its self(remove its self from alayer), and pass the bstring to alayer? } thanks. ps. I can use NSUserDefault to pass the string value, but I think it's a bad way to do this, is there another way to pass value?
