How do I change the source image of a Unity image component?

I can't figure out how to change the sprite used for the source image.

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.UIElements; public class SceneButton : MonoBehaviour { public Sprite ButtonOff; public Sprite ButtonOn; private void OnMouseDown() { gameobject.GetComponent<Image>().sprite = ButtonOn; } } 

when I type this out it returns: Assets\Scripts\SceneButton.cs(13,31): error CS1061: 'Image' does not contain a definition for 'sprite' and no accessible extension method 'sprite' accepting a first argument of type 'Image' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I have seen many posts where people use .sprite on an image component, so I am not sure why I am not able to

I think you should add using UnityEngine.UI; namespace. If it not work then try to make a public function as this:-

public GameObject soundButton; public sprite soundOn; public sprite soundOff; public void ChangeSprite() { // getting Image component of soundButton and changing it soundButton.GetComponent<Image>().sprite = soundOn; } 

And call it from the onclick of unity May it's work for you
