Calling coroutine in a method issue.

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, I want to move a button via coroutine from a method however this problem occurred.

void Start(){
    menu_btn = Instantiate (menuPrefab, new Vector3 (-50f, 0f, 0f), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
    menu_btn.GetComponent<RectTransform> ().SetParent (canvas.transform, false);
	pauseObjects.Add (menu_btn);
	StartCoroutine (SmoothMovement(menu_btn, menu_btn.GetComponent<RectTransform> ().localPosition + new Vector3 (0f, 100f, 0f))); // This line works but I don't want to call it on start.
}

This is normally work but when I removed the StartCoroutine line above and add the following method.

void showButton(){
       StartCoroutine (SmoothMovement(menu_btn, menu_btn.GetComponent<RectTransform> ().localPosition + new Vector3 (0f, 100f, 0f)));
}

And when I call this method my coroutine just move up 0.XXX point and it seem to never finish the coroutine (Actually, it just move one bit toward the point I marked.). And this is my coroutine code

IEnumerator SmoothMovement(GameObject button,Vector3 end){
		float sqrRemainingDistance = (button.GetComponent<RectTransform>().localPosition - end).sqrMagnitude;
		
		while (sqrRemainingDistance > float.Epsilon) {
			Vector3 newPosition = Vector3.MoveTowards(button.GetComponent<RectTransform>().localPosition,end,inversedMoveTime*Time.deltaTime);
			button.GetComponent<RectTransform>().localPosition = newPosition;
			sqrRemainingDistance = (button.GetComponent<RectTransform>().localPosition - end).sqrMagnitude;
			yield return null;
		}
		
	}

Please help me. Thank you.
