UI.Image change sprite on script

I use next code

Code (CSharp):

1. Obj.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Image>.overrideSprite =  (Sprite)Resources.Load("Textures/sprite");

But receive error

Type IPointerClickHandler expected Button received. i:0. Cannot cast from source type to destination type.
UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem:Update()

 

I try load sprite before change.

Code (CSharp):

1. Sprite sprite = (Sprite)Resources.Load("Textures/musicoff_icon");

And received same error. But in inspector Textures/musicoff_icon is a sprite.

 

Thx all.
Correct code:

Code (CSharp):

1. Obj.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Image>.overrideSprite =  Resources.Load<Sprite>("Textures/sprite");

 

I have tryed to change the texture of an Image component using the property `overrideScript` without luck, the image shown is always the same. I need to change the image shown using a texture downloaded using the class WWW.

My code is similar to:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public SomeClass : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.    private void SomeMethod() {
5.       // After image was downloaded using an instance of WWW
6.       this.MyCustomGameObject.GetComponent<Image>().overrideSprite = Sprite.Create(www.texture, new Rect(0, 0, www.texture.width, www.texture.height, new Vector2(0.5f, 0.5f));
7.    }
8. }
9.  

Debugging I could verify that the image was correctly downloaded and that previous lines was executed.

Also I've tryed to assign a new sprite to image's sprite property but still not working

Any idea?
Thanks

 

It seems that the correct one is GetComponent<Image>().sprite not overrideSprite

 

Hello Eugen,
You can implement your code like this.
public Sprite newSprtieImage;

GetComponent<Image>().sprite = newSprtieImage;

Thanks

 

what is the difference between overrideSprite and sprite? i ask because if i set an image sprite with overrideSprite, if the sprite to set is 9sliced the image doesn't render properly

Thanks

 

and is normal then that a 9sliced sprite doesnt render properly with the overrideSpirte?
