CCButton not calling method

Question

In my Cocos2d game I am adding a pause button to the CCScene. The pause button is a CCButton. The problem is that when my button is pressed the action isn't called. I have tested the button on the main menu and it work fine. I tried using control.block = ^(id sender) and it didn't work either. I am calling addPauseButton method in the init method. I'm wondering if the problem has to do with the physics node.

-(void)addPauseButton
{
    CCSpriteFrame *pauseNormalImage = [CCSpriteFrame frameWithImageNamed:@"pause.png"];
    CCSpriteFrame *pauseHighlightedImage  = [CCSpriteFrame frameWithImageNamed:@"pause_selected.png"];
    CCButton *btnPause = [CCButton buttonWithTitle:nil
                                       spriteFrame:pauseNormalImage
                            highlightedSpriteFrame:pauseHighlightedImage
                               disabledSpriteFrame:nil];

    btnPause.positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
    btnPause.position = ccp(0.85f, 0.85f);
    [btnPause setTarget:self selector:@selector(onbtnPauseTapped:)];

    [self addChild:btnPause z:10000]; 
}


- (void)onbtnPauseTapped:(id)sender
{
     NSLog(@"Working?");

}

I had this same issue a while ago and couldn't figure it. The problem was a UIGestureRecognizer preventing the user touch being sent up the responder chain. Check your code to see if you are using a UIGestureRecognizer. I also recommend reading the Apple documentation for UIGestureRecognizer.
