UITweener gets disabled before running (bug)

[beermoney]

OK I am going to describe the scenario that happens then my explanation as to why it's happening, and hopefully you can fix it.

I discovered this in on iOS but am able to repro it in the editor. (Latest version of NGUI as of time of writing)

* I have a gameObject with alpha tween on it.  It is currently not enabled. (The tween duration is short - 0.25s and is set to play once)
* With the game running I leave the editor (the application pauses)
* I return to the editor (application resumes) and within the first frame I invoke my tween (via an OnClick event)
* The tween does not occur (and any OnFinish delegates are omitted also)

Having debugged a bit I figure whats happening (see  ***comments***):

My code:
void OnClick() {
myTween.ResetToBegining();
myTween.PlayForward();
}

NGUI UITweener Code:

1. void Update ()
2.         {
3. *****************************delta time is the time period which I the application was paused, say 10.0f sec****************************************************
4.                 float delta = ignoreTimeScale ? RealTime.deltaTime : Time.deltaTime;
5.                 float time = ignoreTimeScale ? RealTime.time : Time.time;
6.  
7.                 if (!mStarted)
8.                 {
9.                         mStarted = true;
10.                         mStartTime = time + delay;
11.                 }
12.                
13.                 if (time < mStartTime) return;
14.  
15. *****************************calculated mFactor far too high, should be zero****************************************************
16.                 // Advance the sampling factor
17.                 mFactor += amountPerDelta * delta;
18.  
19.                 // Loop style simply resets the play factor after it exceeds 1.
20.                 if (style == Style.Loop)
21.                 {
22.                         if (mFactor > 1f)
23.                         {
24.                                 mFactor -= Mathf.Floor(mFactor);
25.                         }
26.                 }
27.                 else if (style == Style.PingPong)
28.                 {
29.                         // Ping-pong style reverses the direction
30.                         if (mFactor > 1f)
31.                         {
32.                                 mFactor = 1f - (mFactor - Mathf.Floor(mFactor));
33.                                 mAmountPerDelta = -mAmountPerDelta;
34.                         }
35.                         else if (mFactor < 0f)
36.                         {
37.                                 mFactor = -mFactor;
38.                                 mFactor -= Mathf.Floor(mFactor);
39.                                 mAmountPerDelta = -mAmountPerDelta;
40.                         }
41.                 }
42.  
43.                 // If the factor goes out of range and this is a one-time tweening operation, disable the script
44. *****************************calculated mFactor too high, should be zero****************************************************
45.                 if ((style == Style.Once) && (duration == 0f || mFactor > 1f || mFactor < 0f))
46.                 {
47.                         mFactor = Mathf.Clamp01(mFactor);

*bump*

I have a work around for this but I do think the issue should be resolved within NGUI

[ArenMook]

It's really hard to read code that hasn't been wrapped in a [code] block.

I believe this should already be resolved in the latest Pro version.

[beermoney]

I'll look out for the release version with a fix in it.

Thanks
