3.1.0 - runAnimationsForSequenceNamed error when using Sprite Frame keyframes

[tanis2000]

I have a CCB file that has a CCNode and a child of the CCNode that is a CCSprite. I've set the spriteFrame of the CCSprite and made a new timeline that has some keyframes for the "Sprite Frame".

When I run the animation through the usual [self.animationManager runAnimationsForSequenceNamed:@"Hit"]; I get the following error:

-[Bullet setSpriteFrame:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xc402a80

Bullet is the class of my CCNode. I don't understand why it's trying to set the Sprite Frame of the CCNode instead of the one of the CCSprite.

Here's the CCB file if needed: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3098924/Bullet.ccb

Sort of hacky solution: here's what I've done to get it working. But I'm not sure that's really needed or the correct way.

In my Bullet class I've added this property:

@property (nonatomic, strong) CCSprite *bulletSprite;

In SB I've set up as Owner var the value _bulletSprite.

And back in the code now I'm calling this:

[self.bulletSprite.animationManager runAnimationsForSequenceNamed:@"Hit"];

I've been experimenting with this issue and my hacky solution isn't of much help as I'm not sure whether the animation will involve changing the frame of a sprite or not beforehand. So I suppose that the problem is in the CCBReader that doesn't set the correct object for which the frame should be changed.

Here's a stack trace that just happened:

The Bullet class this trace refers to is my main node for that CCB file, which is a CCNode with physics enabled. But the sequence (or timeline) changes the frame of a CCSprite that is a child of that CCNode.

[tanis2000]

Here's the solution. My Bullet.ccb file had a piece of dictionary that shouldn't have been there. This is due to me changing the parent CCSprite to a CCNode by hand in the file (is there a way to do it directly in SB?).

When doing so, upon reopening the file in SB and saving it again, it doesn't purge the properties that are no longer pertinent to that kind of object. The result was that I still had this piece of XML lying around:
