Touch handling not responding after NSTimer invalidate?

This sounds like you didn't correctly retain the view or have released it once too often. A NSTimer retains its target object, and once you invalidate a timer it releases its target object. In your case, that seems to make the retain counter drop to 0 and it thus gets deallocated.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
