Changing a UISprite sprite within same atlas causes anchors to break

[greyhoundgames]

Situation. I have Widgets A, B and C nested in each other in that order
B is anchored to A flush with its sides. C is anchored to B, a percent of its size

Everything works correctly with my setup until I call this code

1.         sprite.spriteName = newSpriteFrameName;
2.         UISpriteData spriteData = sprite.atlas.GetSprite(newSpriteFrameName);
3.         sprite.aspectRatio = (float)spriteData.width / (float)spriteData.height;
4.         sprite.Update();
5.  

I have tried calling UpdateAndResetAnchors on B and C but it did not help. If I poke at the anchors while the thing is running, eventually it figures out what it was supposed to do. Thoughts?

Aspect ratio setting only works if the sprite is partially anchored. If all 4 sides are anchored (as is the case with uniform anchoring), then the aspect ratio cannot be maintained. You can force all anchors to update by using A.BroadcastMessage("UpdateAnchors");

From what I have seen when you have based-on-height aspect ratio the left and right anchors work, they just basically effect the center which is perfectly fine. My only issue was the anchors not updating. I believe there is more going on here because the sprite who I am changing things on is a child of the guy who's anchors are not working. So B in this case is not having any modification done to it, but its dimensions get stuck at 2x2 when c's sprite changes. I tried the broadcast technique on both A and B and C but it did not help

If you want anchors to update, then you need to set them, not the aspect ratio.

1. widget.rightAnchor.absolute = Mathf.RoundToInt(aspect * widget.rightAnchor.absolute);
