Question

Hi, I've got a problem with showing and hiding GUI textures. When I click a button I want it to hide and a different one to show. On the original button I have this code:

function OnMouseDown() {
   gameObject.active=false;
   gameObject.Find("EasyButton").SendMessage("Show");   
}

And on the other button I have this code:

function Show() {
    gameObject.active=true;      
}

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

You can't find an inactive object with Find, and even if you could, I suspect that it would not answer to SendMessage.
If you're using GUITexture, disable/enable the textures with guiTexture.enabled instead:

function OnMouseDown() {
   guiTexture = false; // or use "gameObject.active=false;" as before
   gameObject.Find("EasyButton").guiTexture.enabled = true;   
}

You don't need the other button's script in this case.

Use something like this:

var showButton = false;

function OnMouseDown() {
     var button = gameObject.Find("EasyButton");

     if (showButton) {
        button.active = true;  
     }
}
