prefab instance keeps its connection to script

Question

I have a scene where I have a GUIText object

which I have linked to my character prefab

when I instantiate this in game it creates a clone

and the script doesn't work on the new object.

If I pause the game and drag the prefab onto the GUIText script again and run it it will work fine.

Is there something I need to be doing in my code to make sure I can keep this connection on any instances.

I have added the code it basically looks at the script PickupScore on my prefab which is what is losing it's connection

 var player : PickupScore;
 
 
 function Update()
     {
         GetComponent(GUIText).text = player.score.ToString();
         Debug.Log("added value");
 }

 function Update()
     {
     
         var player = GameObject.FindWithTag("hamsterBall");
         var newScore = player.GetComponent(PickupScore).scoreStr;
 
         GetComponent(GUIText).text = newScore;
         Debug.Log("added value");
 }
