GetComponent returns a Component, and Components do not have a sensitivityX member.

You need a MouseLook.

The most best way to get a MouseLook is:

object.GetComponent(MouseLook)

Other ways are:

var ml : MouseLook = object.GetComponent< MouseLook >();

and

var ml : MouseLook = object.GetComponent("MouseLook") as MouseLook;

but not

var ml = object.GetComponent("MouseLook");, because that returns a Component.

The string method is the slowest and easiest to mess up; you’ll save yourself lots of headaches if you only use it if your code is given a string variable to send in.

You can also add #pragma strict at the top of your script - this will force you to use variable types and prevent a lot of these auto-typing issues.
