Problem Description
Im bringing a sprite in from cocos studio but the moveto action causes the scene to crash. Am I implementing the header incorrectly?

CPP

Sprite *custom = ( Sprite * )rootNode->getChildByTag( 41 );
MoveTo *moveAction = MoveTo::create( 2, Vec2( 50, 100 ) );
custom->runAction( moveAction );

H

cocos2d::Sprite * custom

Header is fine but in the CPP you are declaring a local copy, so change
```
Sprite *custom = ( Sprite * )rootNode->getChildByTag( 41 );
```
to
```
custom = ( Sprite * )rootNode->getChildByTag( 41 );
```

Something important, which I apologize for not mentioning, is that the sprite was inside a panel. However I have solved it by doing the following:

CPP

init
custom = ( Sprite * )panel3->getChildByTag( 41 );
}

void MainMenu::touchEvent( Ref *sender, cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType type )
{
    MoveTo *moveAction = MoveTo::create( 2, Vec2( 50, 100 ) );

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

            break;
            
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::ENDED:
        panel3->setVisible( true );
        custom->runAction( moveAction );
            break;
            
        case cocos2d::ui::Widget::TouchEventType::CANCELED:
            
            break;
            
        default:
            break;
    }
}

H
cocos2d::ui::Layout * panel3;
cocos2d::Sprite * custom;

Placing “MoveTo *moveAction = MoveTo::create( 2, Vec2( 50, 100 ) );” before the touch events and stating that the sprite is inside of the panel.
Thanks for your help :)
