Coudl you show us a video of yours.

Sorry but I am unable to at the moment. I was just wondering what your setup is for changing scenes so that I could compare it to what I have

We jsut use the default replace and push scene methods with the built in animations.

Where could I find that?

Are you using Cocos2d-x or Cocos2d-JS?

Cocos2d-x

Since im loading the scene with the buttons created in Cocos Studio, the code looks like this:
C++

//Play Button
    cocos2d::ui::Button *button = ( cocos2d::ui::Button * )rootNode->getChildByTag( 8 );
    button->addTouchEventListener( CC_CALLBACK_2( MainMenu::touchEventPlay, this ) );

void MainMenu::touchEventPlay( Ref *sender, cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType type )
{
    auto scene = LevelSelect::createScene( );

    switch ( type )
    {
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::BEGAN:
            
            break;
            
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::MOVED:

            break;
            
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::ENDED:
            Director::getInstance()->replaceScene( scene );

            break;
            
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::CANCELED:
            
            break;
            
        default:
            break;
    }
}

void touchEventPlay( Ref *sender, cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType type );

I use this same setup to show/hide panels and changing scenes is the only time I encounter issues.

What’s the problem with that again?

Pressing the play button in the main menu which changes scenes using the code above has problems. Pressing down should change the image of the button to the button down image but instead freezes the app until you release the button which pauses for a second and then changes scenes. I have other buttons with the same code but for the action instead of changing scenes it shows/hides a panel. Those buttons behave correctly and change images when pressed/released and dont lag/freeze the app. I was looking for the exact button code/setup used in one of your successful apps such as Space Jam

Where on your game are you displaying this button?

MainMenu screen, this is the second screen right after the splashscreen. It isn’t in any containers and the button was made in Cocos Studio

Has this seen been pushed on aka is there another scene underneath on the stack?

I think so. Are you asking if the main menu scene loads another scene because it does. This play button which isnt working correctly loads up another scene. Im using replace scene to load the scene on button press

But I mean the scene this button is on, is it on a scene that has been pushed or replaced onto the stack?

replaced

OK

Could you list the entire flow of the game aka what scene goes to what and whether it’s pushed, popped or replaced onto the stack. This will help us better understand the game to assist you.

SplashScreen → replace scene with transition fade → MainMenuScene

MainMenuScene → replace scene → LevelSelectScene

LevelSelectScene → replace scene → Level1Scene

Is replacing the scenes a mistake? How do you use popping/pushing scenes and what are the pros/cons of using that over replacing.

Replacing is the best for this, what part of your code in each seen actually calls the replace code aka what is the flow within each scene.

    cocos2d::ui::Button *button = ( cocos2d::ui::Button * )rootNode->getChildByTag( 8 );
    button->addTouchEventListener( CC_CALLBACK_2( MainMenu::touchEventPlay, this ) );



void MainMenu::touchEventPlay( Ref *sender, cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType type )
{
    auto scene = LevelSelect::createScene( );

    switch ( type )
    {
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::BEGAN:
            
            break;
            
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::MOVED:

            break;
            
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::ENDED:
        

        Director::getInstance()->replaceScene( scene );

            break;
            
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::CANCELED:
            
            break;
            
        default:
            break;
    }
}

The replace code is in the void part

Honestly I can’t see anything wrong, I have used similar code.

Try a fresh project.

Oh okay well thanks for your help anyways :)
