NGUI3.5.8 Anchor Problem

[visperc]

When i use NGUI3.5.8 to create my ui , i found some problem .
1.when i want to anchor base on the screen , i don't know which object should i set.
2.sometimes i want scale a sprite with fixed aspect and anchor it to the screen , in this case , i think i just need 3 parameters, left to the anchor left , right to the anchor right , and because its fixed aspect ,so i just need a parameter to decide the y axis . but ngui need i set 4 parameter, so i don't know how to do this ..
 sorry for my poor English, i will appreciate for anyone gives any idea.

Set it to unified, and anchor left to left, right to right, top to top and bottom to bottom. If you set the container to be a UIPanel without any clipping, it will stretch with the screen size.

sorry for reply so late...
yes , i try and it works  but some thing strange happens. when i change to game view ,it show the right sprites size ,but when i change to scene view, anything i make a change will lead the sprite scales its size automatically, do you know why ?

i update to the latest NGUI , but seems no change. i think this is very strange that there is no unique object for screen . because i once read the ngui codes, i think the panel's boundary is base on all its child widget. so if there is
a large sprite under the panel .uhhh i mean the sprite is large and out of screen , i anchor a sprite to this panel actually means i anchor this big sprite . that's usually not expected.
     i don't know if i misunderstanding this .anyone knows this ? Is anyone use the anchor before ?

Don't hide your game view behind your scene view. It's not possible to determine the game view's dimensions properly when it's hidden.

   Awesome! now it works correctly. Thank you very much .
   Another question is that if i want to anchor an sprite which must scale with fixed aspect to the screen. i think i just need 3 parameters in the anchor setting ,left to the screen left,right to the screen right .because i use fixed aspect. so i just need a parameter to decide the y position .but the anchor setting panel always need 4 parameters. so i use a trick to do this , i set anchor type to Advanced . and set the left ,right , and bottom. but set the top to the sprite itself's top. it seems works .but i think this is not the perfect solution .so  any idea about it ? thanks

That's how you are supposed to do it, yes. Advanced anchoring lets you choose 4 independent points, or leave some not anchored.
