Table clipping not working for sprites?

[EToreo]

I am trying to (dynamically) create a list of items (trains) the player can buy.  I have set up a table (with 2 rows) and I load the data in from an XML file.  For each item, I instantiate 2 new Prefabs (cells for the table) and add them to the table object.  See code:

1.       foreach(TrainTemplate pTrainTemplate in mTemplates)
2.       {
3.          // Col 1 - Picture
4.          GameObject pCol1Fake = Instantiate(Resources.Load("Prefabs/GUI/TrainTemplateTable/Col1"), Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
5.          GameObject pCol1 = NGUITools.AddChild(mTableGameObject, pCol1Fake);
6.          Destroy(pCol1Fake);
7.          pCol1.name = Convert.ToString(i++) + " - Col 1 - " + pTrainTemplate.Name;
8.          UISprite pSprite = pCol1.transform.FindChild("Sprite").GetComponent<UISprite>();
9.          pSprite.spriteName = pTrainTemplate.Icon;
10.          pSprite.MakePixelPerfect();
11.          
12.          
13.          // Col 2 - Text
14.          GameObject pCol2Fake = Instantiate(Resources.Load("Prefabs/GUI/TrainTemplateTable/Col2"), Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
15.          GameObject pCol2 = NGUITools.AddChild(mTableGameObject, pCol2Fake);
16.          Destroy(pCol2Fake);
17.          pCol2.name = Convert.ToString(i++) + " - Col 2 - " + pTrainTemplate.Name;
18.          
19.          UILabel pLable = pCol2.transform.FindChild("Label").GetComponent<UILabel>();
20.          DebugUtils.Assert(pLable != null);
21.          pLable.text = "Name: " + pTrainTemplate.Name + "\nCost: $" + pTrainTemplate.Cost + "\nMax Speed: " + pTrainTemplate.CarSpeed[0];
22.       }
23.  

I am running into the problem that the sprites do not clip while the text does.  Any suggestions?

Make sure the shader used by your sprite's atlas is Unlit/Transparent Colored, or clipping won't work.

Also never use Instantiate. Use NGUITools.AddChild, or your layers won't be correct.

Thanks for getting back to me.  The Atlas's material has the "Unlit/Transparent Colored" shader on it.  That leaves the Instantiate call.

How can I Resorces.Load a Prefab and then use NGUITools.AddChild on the result?  I fooled around with it and I can't seem to be able to do it without calling Instantiated on the loaded resource first.

NGUITools.AddChild(parentObject, Resources.Load(yourPrefab));

I tried that and while it cleaned up my code (and some copy constructors, I'm sure), I still get the same sprite behavior. 

I am sure all the textures are from the same Atlas and that the Atlas has the correct shared on it.

What else can I try?

P.S.  The Prefab being loaded is a GameObject with a UISprite under it.  That means that the top level GameObject in the prefab has a UIBasePanel script on it.  (I didn't put it there, I think NGUI did when I created the sprite widget - disabling that script causes the sprite not to draw at all.)

1.    void Start ()
2.    {
3.       Transform pTableTransform = gameObject.transform.FindChild("SubPanel/Table");
4.       DebugUtils.Assert(pTableTransform != null);
5.       mTableGameObject = pTableTransform.gameObject;
6.      
7.       mTemplates = TrainTemplateLoader.loadAll();
8.       int i = 0;
9.       foreach(TrainTemplate pTrainTemplate in mTemplates)
10.       {
11.          // Col 1 - Picture
12.          GameObject pCol1 = NGUITools.AddChild(mTableGameObject, Resources.Load("Prefabs/GUI/TrainTemplateTable/Col1") as GameObject);
13.          pCol1.name = Convert.ToString(i++) + " - Col 1 - " + pTrainTemplate.Name;
14.          UISprite pSprite = pCol1.transform.FindChild("Sprite").GetComponent<UISprite>();
15.          pSprite.spriteName = pTrainTemplate.Icon;
16.          pSprite.MakePixelPerfect();
17.          
18.          
19.          // Col 2 - Text
20.          GameObject pCol2 = NGUITools.AddChild(mTableGameObject, Resources.Load("Prefabs/GUI/TrainTemplateTable/Col2") as GameObject);
21.          pCol2.name = Convert.ToString(i++) + " - Col 2 - " + pTrainTemplate.Name;
22.          
23.          UILabel pLable = pCol2.transform.FindChild("Label").GetComponent<UILabel>();
24.          DebugUtils.Assert(pLable != null);
25.          pLable.text = "Name: " + pTrainTemplate.Name + "\nCost: $" + pTrainTemplate.Cost + "\nMax Speed: " + pTrainTemplate.CarSpeed[0];
26.       }
27.    }

Well then, upgrading to the newest version of NGUI fixed my problem.  I was using FREE 2.0.0.7 or something close to it and I upgraded to FULL 2.2.6c.  Sorry to bother you about it.
