Title: Nesting Anchors
Post by: kruncher on October 07, 2013, 09:21:09 PM
Hey

I am trying to figure out how to anchor a sprite (A) to the bottom of the screen, and then anchor another sprite (B) to the right of sprite (A):
  1. Root
  2.   |-- Panel
  3.         |-- Anchor Bottom
  4.                       |-- Sprite (A) 500 pixels wide
  5.                                 |-- Anchor Right
  6.                                               |-- Sprite (B) 50 pixels wide
  7.  
I have also tried setting the container of "Anchor Right" to "Sprite (A)" which doesn't seem to work.

Here is what I am hoping to achieve:
  1. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
  2. |                                                                     |
  3. |                                                                     |
  4. |                                                                     |
  5. |                                                                     |
  6. |                              "Panel"                                |
  7. |                                                                     |
  8. |                                                                     |
  9. |                                                                     |
  10. |         [A---------------------500---------[B----50----B]A]         |
  11. |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
  12.  

In my scene sprite (A) will stretch to fill the width of the screen with a horizontal margin of 150px.
Sprite (B) represents 25% the width of sprite (A).

I hope to combine the use of UIAnchor and UIStretch to achieve this.

Make them siblings. Unless you have the latest Pro version, UIAnchor needs to be siblings with whatever it's anchoring to, not a child of it.

Thanks, worked a charm!

I had been messing around for about an hour trying to figure that out :P
