CCDictionary this dictionary doesn't use string as key.

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hi I am trying to add a sprite to a dictionary and I keep getting this error “this dictionary doesn’t use string as key.” my code is below.

CCSprite* sprite1 = GraphicUtil::makeSpriteWithGraphic("MMButton.png");
    sprite2->cocos2d::CCNode::setPosition((X/2), (Y/4));
    sprite1->setAnchorPoint(ccp(0.5, 0.5));
    sprite1->setTag(1);


    CCDictionary* allsprites;
    allsprites->setObject((CCObject*)sprite1, "1");

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

I worked it out I needed to use CCDictionary* allsprites = CCDictionary::create(); instead of CCDictionary* allsprites;
