apply jpg texture to game object

Question

I want to create a primitive and apply a pict.jpg that I have dragged into the assets folder. All the examples I've seen want you to do
myprimitive.renderer.material.mainTexture=Resources.Load("pict");//t$$anonymous$$s works.

According to the docs though you can assign a texture like t$$anonymous$$s
var texture : Texture;
renderer.material.mainTexture = texture;

When I load a jpg into assets it looks like it's a texture in the inspector, but
renderer.material.mainTexture="pict"; //does not work

Does resources load have to be used to apply a texture?

Thanks, Dan

I t$$anonymous$$nk you need to load the texture into a texture object if you want to assign it later.

So create a texture variable like the docs states, then load the texture into that. Later on, when you need it, assign the variable to the mainTexture property.
