Adding data to a set of transforms

Question

Hello,

I have a blank gameobject that contains 70 some odd prefabs (generated at run-time). I want to be able to loop through the prefabs and add a WWW object which will be setting its texture as soon as the download completes, but I need to track which prefabs have have WWW objects that aren't isDone, so that I could dispose of the WWW object that is associated with that particular prefab. Here is an example of what I have/need (simplified):

 for(var child : Transform in transform){
     var txt = new Texture2D(tileSize, tileSize, TextureFormat.DXT1, false);
     var www = new WWW("urlgoeshere");
     yield www;
     www.LoadImageIntoTexture(txt);
     child.guiTexture.texture = txt;    
     child.newpropertynamehere = www; // THIS IS WHAT I NEED
 }

So that later I can do:

 for(var child : Transform in transform){
     if(!child.newpropertynamehere.isDone) child.newpropertynamehere.Dispose();
 }

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Let every GameObject have a script that loads the textures and keeps the variables for isDone.

 var children : WWWLoader[] = GetComponentsInChildren<WWWLoader>();
 for (child : WWWLoader in children)
 {
    child.Load("urlgoeshere");
 }

so later you can do:

 for (child : WWWLoader in children)
 {
    if(!child.isDone) child.Dispose();
 }

the WWWLoader-class would look something like

 var isDone : boolean;
 function Load (url : string) {
     var txt = new Texture2D(tileSize, tileSize, TextureFormat.DXT1, false);
     var www = new WWW(url);
     yield www;
     www.LoadImageIntoTexture(txt);
     guiTexture.texture = txt; 
     isDone = true;
 }

Thanks for your help on this, I am new to unity and game development so I have to think a bit differently.

I figured it would involve applying a class to the tiles, should I drop this WWWLoader script on the guitexture that is inside the prefab? Or the prefab itself?

Also, does the child.Dispose(); dispose of the WWW object or does it dispose of the whole prefab?
