Can you make a button widget and then put it into a display group?
I am having trouble moving the display group after the button is added. (Button uses 9-slice image)
Thanks,
Gullie
I don’t think the 9-slice should affect the position of the button. Possibly you’re not moving the parent group properly. How can I tell? I can’t because I can’t see your code.
Yeah, turns out the 9-slice ins’t the issue.
I am now thinking that the issue is that the button in general is the problem. I am / was using the 9-slice button as a background since nothing else uses that feature. Interior elements are smaller then the button so I think that the touches to the image above it are not registering. Uh.
Code?
