I am trying to set the text of a button programmatically that I made in UnityScript. This is way harded than it should be.

Here is my UnityScript code:

#pragma strict

var loginButton : UnityEngine.UI.Button;

function Start () {

	var canvas = new GameObject ("canvas", Canvas);

	var instance : UnityEngine.UI.Button = Instantiate(loginButton);
	
	instance.GetComponent<GUIText>().text = "login"; // doesnt work
	
	
	instance.transform.position = Vector2(0,0);
	instance.transform.SetParent(canvas.transform);

}

instance.GetComponentInChildren<UnityEngine.UI.Text>().text = “login”;
