Change sprite via script?

Hi, I have been trying everything to change the sprite from an UI image im my scene, but I really don't understand what's wrong with my code:

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. var testsprite : Sprite = Resources.Load("testimage", Sprite);
3. GameObject.Find ("TestImage").GetComponent("Image").sprite = testsprite;

But I get the following error:

BCE0019: 'sprite' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Component'.

Thanks

 

Never use strings in GetComponent. Also it's better not to use Resources.Load for sprites because they won't auto-batch (if you have Pro).

Hi Eric,

Following your instructions I removed the quotes, and the error stoped. But now it is not showing the image. I used this code:

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2.  
3. var testsprite : Sprite = Resources.Load("testimage", Sprite);
4. Debug.Log(testsprite);
5. GameObject.Find ("TestImage").GetComponent("Image").sprite = testsprite;
6.  
7.  

I still don't have the pro version is this the reason? The log shows: Null

Thanks for your help

 

Code (javascript):

1. var testsprite : Sprite; // Assign in the inspector
2.  
3. function Start () {
4.     GameObject.Find ("TestImage").GetComponent(Image).sprite = testsprite;
5. }
