ok..forgive me for the remedial question..but heres what I’m trying to do. 1. trigger an action every 5 times that an button is pressed. 2. keep count even if the user leaves the screen this is what i originally tried. in the .m file I placed in the method for the action //loop to trigger easer egg int adfrequency = 2; int count = 0; if(count == adfrequency) { [trigger easer egg]; count = 0; } else { count++; } but I think every time I load the page…the count resets to 0. so it never triggers the easter egg. I know I need to some how store the value for count outside the .m file and retrieve it each time..or something so that it doesn’t reset each time. anyone know the answer to this real simply? thanks

Hi mate! Once the app closes it's probably resetting/releasing your stored variables, as it should. There are other methods to retaining data once the user leaves, for example, NSUserDefaults. If you can't find the solution and you've tried everything else, feel free to email me. Until then, let's see if the community can help you. Look up NSUserDefaults, it's really flexible, but may require some tweaking to get it to do what you want, which is make your data persistent. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Hi Simon, Read about NSUserDefault here: www.codigator.com/snippets/nsuserdefaults-tutorial-for-ios/ So create an integer with a value of zero and set that to the NSUserdefault value In your button click event raise that value with 1 So every time the button is clicked 1 gets added to the integer value. In your button click event create an if else structure where you say: if integer is equal to 5 do this 'function' (and set the integer value to zero again) else do that 'function' I have no code to show but this should be the way. I hope this helps. Best Regards, Danny

Danny and I are on the same page today :-) Cheers, David Van Beveren http://btmods.com/chat ^ Chat with other BT members live! http://btmods.com/hire ^ Hire MrDavid for one of his services!

Rockstar! Congratulations! Cheers, David Van Beveren http://btmods.com/chat ^ Chat with other BT members live! http://btmods.com/hire ^ Hire MrDavid for one of his services!

Just for information. Benefits you can access this globally around the app with alot more ease. Buzztouch has helper methods for nsuserdefaults mainly used for strings Set [BT_strings setPrefString:@"count" valueOfPref: @"1"]; Get [BT_strings getPrefString:@"count"]; It uses nsstring but can be accessed using casting thus Get as an int [[BT_strings getPrefString:@"count"]intValue];

hmmm...nice very nice. thanks €
