Changing UITexture.mainTexture causes flickering

[advanches]

Hi all.

I need to swap some textures on a UITexture as the user drags their finger on the screen.
But using UITexture.maintexture causes the widget to flicker.
Tried using a GUITexture instead and it has no problems.

I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

In what version of NGUI and what do you mean by flickering?

Call Refresh() on the widget's panel.

Hi, Aren.

I'm using version 3.5.8.
What happens is that you can see the UITexture flashing as it disappears and reappears very quickly when it changes the texture.

Unfortunately calling Refresh() on the panel didn't solve the issue.

Thanks for your help.

I managed to fixed my problem by changing the UITexture.mainTexture inside the Update function instead of the drag event handler.

Cheers.

I'm seeing bad flickering when updating UITexture too.  Strangely, setting focus to an input control makes the flickering a lot worse.
Had to write my own code to update the drawcall.dynamicMaterial.mainTexture - maybe this is the cause?

Is there a proper way to update the texture dynamically yet?

Why are you changing the draw call's texture yourself? You should never be doing that. Also -- your NGUI is quite a bit out of date. Please update.

Updating it myself because changing it's texture at runtime didn't do anything (and I saw your comments on this post: http://www.tasharen.com/forum/index.php?topic=8126.msg38467#msg38467)
Will try update if possible...
