Instantiated PreFab selection problem

Question

Hello, I use scripted gameobject generation in UnityEditor like this: GameObject temp = (GameObject)AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath("Assets/media/tiles/Tile.prefab", typeof(GameObject)); GameObject go = (GameObject)GameObject.Instantiate(temp);

It works fine, I'm able to generate many those objects. But I have one problem. This prefab has several child objects in it. Tile.prefab -objectA -objectB -objectC

If I click on this Instantiated object in unity editor it select one of child objects. But if I put same prefab into scene by drag and drop instead of script, when I click on it, it is selected as whole.

Is some solution to fix this problem?

That's pretty typical for the editor, actually. When clicking on objects in the scene view, the editor will try to figure out which specific object you clicked on -- for example, if you click on a particular mesh which happens to be attached to some object which is a child of your prefab, you'll probably get that child object selected rather than the prefab itself.

I'm not sure if there's a good way around that. I suppose you could look for an editor hotkey to select something's parent object -- or code up your own.

But if I put same prefab from project folder to scene, it gets blue color (I think it means it maintain link to prefab) and when I click on it, it is selected as whole. If I use scripted method, it gets black color in scene hierarchy. I dont know what I do different by script.
