Having issues with C# flashlight script (CS0117:)

Before i updated this morning it was working as intended, but i want to display an image in the upper left of the screen. Basic image letting the player know FLash light Off(Gray Out) and Flashlight Active(Full colored).

I created the images already, but i cannot seem to get it to let me add them, i am used to the java now so if anyone can point out what i “Fubar’ed” i would appreciate it.

Error: CS0117: UnityEngine.GUI' does not contain a definition for Texture’
I forgot to note: It’s on Lines, 45,48,49

Here is the code, i tried several variations, like toggle it On/Off, and jusr turn one of and the other off…

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class FlashLight : MonoBehaviour
{
	public Texture2D image;
	public Texture2D image2;
	public Light FlashLightObject;
	private bool LightEnabled = false;
    private bool ShowHide = true;
private bool ShowHide2 = false;
	
	void Update ()
	{
		if(Input.GetButtonDown("Flashlight"))
		{
			LightEnabled = !LightEnabled;
			FlashLightObject.enabled = LightEnabled;
			ShowHide = GUI.Texture (new Rect (10,10,image.width,image.height),image);
			//ShowHide.SetActiveRecursively(!ShowHide.active);
			audio.Play();
			if(!LightEnabled = false){
				 ShowHide2 = GUI.Texture (new Rect (10,10,image2.width,image2.height),image2);
				//ShowHide2.SetActiveRecursively(!ShowHide2.active);
			}
		}
	}
}

ah, you probably want to use a GUITexture then.
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GUITexture.html

void Update()
{
 // non gui stuff
}

void OnGUI()
{
 // all your gui stuff
}

you seem to be reassigning your boolean value LightEnabled. I wonder if this is causing your script to always evaluate it to false?

if(!LightEnabled = false) // right here is a problem
{
    ShowHide2 = GUI.Texture (new Rect(10,10,image2.width,image2.height),image2);
  //ShowHide2.SetActiveRecursively(!ShowHide2.active);
}

you actually don’t need to compare the boolean to false. you can just evaluate the bool, like so:

    if(!LightEnabled)
    { 
       // do stuff 
    }
