CCActionSequence runs all actions at the same time - ios

Question

I have a problem with using CCActionSequence in cocos2d v3.0 (iPhone, Objective-C).
I have created a label with some text. I want it to move up while fading out. After that, remove it from the scene. I created 3 actions: moveBy, Fade, and Remove. Looking at some tutorials on the web, I should be able to chain the actions together with a CCActionSequence. However, when I do this, all three actions run at the same time, essentially removing my label before the fade and move animations kick in.
CCLabelTTF *labelDP = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:#"Double Points!" fontName:#"Helvetica" fontSize:16.0f];
labelDP.positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
labelDP.position = ccp(0.5f,0.5f);
labelDP.color = [CCColor colorWithWhite:1.0f alpha:1.0f];
[self addChild:labelDP];
CCAction *actionMove = [CCActionMoveBy actionWithDuration:ALERT_FADE_DURATION position:ccp(0.0f, 40.0f)];
CCAction *actionFade = [CCActionFadeOut actionWithDuration:ALERT_FADE_DURATION];
CCAction *actionRemove = [CCActionRemove action];
[labelDP runAction:actionFade];
[labelDP runAction:[CCActionSequence actions:actionMove, actionRemove, nil]];
Is there a setting that makes these animations run in sequence instead of simultaneously? Because from all the tutorials I see, they seem to be able to achieve it with similar lines of code as the above.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: ALERT_FADE_DURATION is a macro defined as 2.0f

Answer 1

I believe the problem is invoking runAction twice on the same node.
EDIT: As LearnCocos2D mentioned in the comments invoking runAction more then once should work as long as the actions are not interfering with each other (i.e. two move actions on the same node running in parallel) so it's either a behavioral change in version 3.x or maybe your ALERT_FADE_DURATION definition is too small (as noted in the comments as well)
Try using the CCActionSpawn action which can run actions in parallel on the same node :
CCAction *spawnAction = [CCActionSpawn actionWithArray:#[actionMove , actionFade]];
CCAction *sequenceAction = [CCActionSequence actionWithArray:#[spawnAction]];
[labelDP runAction:sequenceAction];
This should give you the desired effect. First move and fade the label and only then remove it from its parent node

Answer 2

Try with this:
CCAction *actionMove = [CCActionMoveBy actionWithDuration:ALERT_FADE_DURATION position:ccp(0.0f, 40.0f)];
CCAction *actionFade = [CCActionFadeOut actionWithDuration:ALERT_FADE_DURATION];
CCAction *actionRemove = [CCActionRemove action];
id seq = [CCActionSequence actions:actionMove, actionRemove, nil];
[labelDP runAction:[CCActionSpawn actions:actionFade, seq, nil]];
