play texture

Unity Engine

Hi,

I have a plane with a video texture. I want to Play() this from a button in the GUI.

I have found the GameObject but I do not know which component to Get.

I get the Renderer but every option I try on this has not worked.

Been working on this one a while without any success.

thanks for any help

Maybe this works.

(MovieTexture)mov = (MovieTexture)gameObject.renderer.material.mainTexture;

if(mov != null) mov.Play();

Thanks Marc - works perfectly.

for anyone else here is my code:

private GameObject myGameObject;	
private Renderer myRender;
private MovieTexture myTexture;

void Start () 	{

myGameObject = GameObject.Find("VideoPlane");
myRender = (Renderer) myGameObject.GetComponent(typeof(Renderer));
myTexture = (MovieTexture) myRender.material.mainTexture;
}

public void OnGUI() {

if(GUI.Button(new Rect(210,40,100,160), "play video"))
{
	if(myTexture != null) myTexture.Play();

	else print(myRender.ToString() + " " + myGameObject.ToString() + " texture not found");
							
}

thanks again Marc
