manual change button color

[mapleegreen]

I want to change button color when needed it.So I add the function in UIButtonColor.cs

1. public void changeColor (Color color)
2.         {
3.                 if (tweenTarget != null)
4.                 {
5.                         TweenColor tc = tweenTarget.GetComponent<TweenColor>();
6.  
7.                         if (tc != null)
8.                         {
9.                                 Debug.Log("we have change the color "+color.ToString());
10.                                 mColor = color;
11.                                 tc.color = mColor;
12.                        
13.                         }
14.                 }
15.         }

but it's failed.Need some tip,thank you.

How does it fail? With an error? Does your debug statment get printed on console? You're using argument called 'color', but if I remember correctly, 'color' is also also a public variable (well, via getter/setter pair) that UIButton uses internally. Could it overlap? Anyway, I just recenly changed the tint color of spirte by only setting the 'color' variable of the sprite (without a tween, of course). That worked fine.

I use

1. UIButton btn = GetComponent<UIButton>();
2.                         btn.defaultColor = new Color(0.56f,0.42f,0.12f,1.0f);

also has no effect.I didn't find the 'color' variable.

That value isn't used until the button's state changes. You need to also TweenColor.Begin on the button's background for it to be immediate.

That said, I really don't recommend doing this. Assuming you're trying to do some sort of a highlight, add a separate sprite covering your button that's normally set to alpha of 0, but when you want it highlighted -- fade it in. This way your code won't conflict with button's internal highlighting logic.
