No labels on buttons with iPad

[zentuit]

Well I'm befuddled.  If I add a panel, then add buttons to that panel and run in the editor I see the buttons with their labels.

If I run it on the iPad, I just see the background (UISliced sprite); no labels.

The background has a depth of 0; the label has a depth of 1.

Changing the z settings does not have any effect.

I have another label (not a button, just a UILabel) on a different panel (that shows the frame rate) and it displays fine so I think that would rule out any issue with the font.

I have no idea how to debug this.  Any help would be appreciated.

Let me guess, the font is using a different atlas?

Try setting the z position on the label to -1.

Some questions are asked so often you'd think we didn't have a FAQ around here somewhere.

For convenience, I'm using the Fantasy atlas and Fantasy font included for the examples (at least until final art has progressed).

I created a new project and created a new UI.  Added a button with the Fantasy atlas and font.  The button shows correctly on ipad.

Soooo, I'll start pulling out UI items until I find the culprit.

@Nicki: I did try changing both the depth and z position (separately) after reading the FAQ but before posting

Check the panel tool to make sure you don't have any extra panels about.

It seems its how I'm using TweenScale.

The buttons make up a context sensitive menu.  When you tap the screen, the menu displays items applicable to the game object you tapped.

I use TweenScale to have the menu expand out.  I have the Tween scale from (1,1,1) to (1,0,1) since at startup the tween gets called automatically.  (I don't know how to have the tween not fire on startup). 

If I remove the TweenScale, everything displays fine other than the menu being fully displayed on a tap.

If I add the Tween scale back but change the from/to to (1,0,1) and (1,1,1), then everything displays fine other than, again, the menu being fully displayed on a tap.

Is there any way to not have a Tween fire off on start?

Just disable the script in inspector and it won't play automatically.

Btw... don't use starting scale of 0. Use a small number instead like 0.01.

It was the scale of 0 that was causing the problem.  When I changed from (1,0,1) to (1, .0001, 1) the menu worked perfectly.

Thanks!
