animated sprite won't stop animation - cocos2d

Question

I have an animated sprite using two pngs. The animation works fine. I have another method that is run when the game is over.

 //Grey mouse with Pompom
greyMousePomPom = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"pink_mice_pom_anime_01.png"];
greyMousePomPom.tag=132;
[self addChild:greyMousePomPom z:6];
greyMousePomPom.position = CGPointMake(550, 70); 

//Grey Pom Pom Mouse animation
CCAnimation *greyMousePomPomAnimate = [CCAnimation animation];
[greyMousePomPomAnimate addFrameWithFilename:@"gray_mice_pom_anime_01.png"];
[greyMousePomPomAnimate addFrameWithFilename:@"gray_mice_pom_anime_02.png"];
id greyMousePopPomAnimationAction = [CCAnimate actionWithDuration:1.3f animation:greyMousePomPomAnimate restoreOriginalFrame:NO];

repeatAnimationPomPom2 = [CCRepeatForever actionWithAction:greyMousePopPomAnimationAction];
[greyMousePomPom runAction:repeatAnimationPomPom2];

When I run my method to change the animated sprites texture and to stop them the animation continues behind the new texture.

-(void) changePomPomMiceToSadFaceForFreeFall

{ NSLog(@"making the mice sad");

[self stopAllActions];


[greyMousePomPom setTexture:[[CCTextureCache sharedTextureCache] addImage:@"gray_mice_pom_anime_03.png"]];

}

I know this method is working because it is NSLogging and the textures are changing. But why aren't the animations stopping? I have tried to remove it by tag and by declaring the action but no success.

I know there are a lot of people out there that are smarter than me.. can you help?

What you're doing right now is stop all animations added to the current node:

self

If you added any action to self, this command would be perfectly fine to stop all of them.

Instead what you need to do is, you need to call the stopAllActions method on the object you added the actions to:

[greyMousePomPom stopAllActions];

HTH
