To access an object's main texture you go through the renderer's material.

 for (var i = 0; i<x.Length; i++) {
     y[i] = x[i].renderer.material.mainTexture;
 }

You can also go by the property name in the shader by using the GetTexture-function:

 var tex : Texture = renderer.material.GetTexture ("_BumpMap");

Remember that the array y doesn't have to be public, you could make it static or private (depending on your need for access level) and resize it before you iterate through the x array.

 y = new Texture[x.Length];

dude have an error that says : "UnassignedReferenceException: The variable x of 'Js_Test' has not been assigned. You probably need to assign the x variable of the Js_Test script in the inspector." what to do?

What it means is that you haven't assigned the variable x (there's nothing in the array or you're trying to point to an element that isn't present).

Have you assigned the variable in the Inspector? If it's static have you declared a new GameObject[] and filled the array? Else are you sure you have an element where you point to the array? - The last thing often happens when stopping rule is larger than the actual elements in the array

 x = new GameObject[10]; //0 - 9
 var someNumber = 10; //0 - 10
 for (var i = 0; i<someNumber; i++)
