Trouble creating reference of image in script.

Question

I'm trying to do this:

  private Image image;

  //On Start I wrote:
  image = new Image();

Well, it doesn't work. I get a "NullReferenceExeption" (if there's any annoying situation, then the null reference is on top of the list).

Unity also says I can't use it because of the level of protection of Image.Image(). I've got a look at it, and it's literaly protected.

Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

You can't since it's a monobehaviour, you must use AddComponent

 AddComponent<Image>();

To set new sprite:

 GetComponent<Image>().sprite = newSpriteImage;

Thanks, but now I'm using another approach. I needed this to make my game accept multiple texture packs, and I wasn't able to change the button's image sprite to match the icons contained in the texture packs. But i solved it.

Thanks, anyway.
