Hi, I am trying to access the text on a Button in Javascript. The text is in a button called Button1 on a Canvas set to worldspace. I can’t find a way to get or set the text in code?

Any help appreciated

Hi BoredMoron,

Thanks for pointing out that Josh misread when stated that I need javascript. Anyway this is what I think the translation to javascript is:

#pragma strict

public var Score:UnityEngine.UI.Text;
var score:int = 10;
 
function Start ():void 
{
	Score = GetComponentInChildren(UnityEngine.UI.Text);
	print( "score= "+ Score.text);
      Score.text = score.ToString ();
}

I was going wrong with the type in GetComponentInChildren(UnityEngine.UI.Text);

didn’t realize I needed the full path to the object type and was just using (Text);

thanks for your input guys!
