Iterating through children of a layer in cocos2d

Question

I am trying to iterate through and remove all children of my layer (HUDLayer). I am trying to accomplish this task with:

    for(id *item in HUDLayer.children_)
    {
        [self removeChild:item cleanup:YES];
    }

But I get an error -> Expression does not have a valid object type

Can someone shed some light on my issue?

Thank you

Answer 1

for(id *item

Whoops. id is an object itself (and a pointer too), no need for the asterisk.

for(id item in HUDLayer._children)

should be fine.
