GUI error scripting help!

Question

I've created this script to open a GUI Texfield. But there is an error in my script... error: "Assets/Scripts/TypeName.js(2,16): BCE0018: The name 'TextField' does not denote a valid type ('not found')"

Here is the script:

 var stringToEdit : String = "Type in your NAME";
 var TextArea : TextField;
 
 function OnGUI () {
    stringToEdit = TextArea.text;
 }

hmmm TextField is not a class to so that you can declare a object for it, it is just a function in unity. you can call a function but not declare it as a type for a variable. From the method what i understand you are trying to do something like this...

 var stringToEdit : String = "Hello World";
 var viewportArea : Rect;
 
 function OnGUI () {
     // Make a text field that modifies stringToEdit.
     stringToEdit = GUI.TextField (viewportArea, stringToEdit, 25);
 }

is this what you want ???!!

You are indeed using @flamy's script, and replaced all the code that was in your script? The error message really refers you to that script? Which line? (double-click the error in the Unity console).
