Jitter Bug Blues
« on: March 10, 2014, 11:06:30 PM »
Here's my first attempt at creating a resizable thumb control.  I added a thumbLeft and thumbRt as children of the main thumb.  Then I added a DragResize to both of the children.  When dragging the thumbRt constantly does a Jitter Bug dance.  I tried changing various combinations of pivots but still the same jittering.  The thumbLeft stays perfect.

Another question:  Is it possible to change the pivot at run time, for example, if the user clicks on  thumbLeft or thumbRt, I would like to change the pivot of the parent's Thumb.

I don't know what you have them anchored to, but the jitter is likely caused by floating point rounding resulting from having a centered pivot and dimensions that are not dividable by two.

Yes you can change the pivot at run time. UIWidget.pivot.

The 2 extra left and right thumb sprites are simply children of the Thumb sprite. 
As you can see, the left Thumb works, but the right one doesn't.  Should I use some sort of anchor?

If they are children, and they are not anchored, then they will always move with the parent and have no reason to jitter. Can you post a pic of inspector with the offending sprite selected (one that jitters)?
