Loading script by name in Unity3D

Question

I am creating a C # game with Unity3D, and I need to call the script that I create at runtime, so I know the name of the script because I have an object with the name exactly the same.

I create a script at runtime and then save it in my Resources folder, but then I change the scene and should call it a script and attach it to my Empty GameObject in the current scene, so I would like to use something like this :

Script myScript = Resources.Load(myObject.name) as Script; 

But I know that this cannot be done this way, so I am looking for a way that I can do what I want, because I need to load this new script in order to add some functions at runtime.

Do you know any solution to my problem? Thank you very much!

It is actually easier than you think. You can add a script to the game object using the AddComponent method. So, after your level has changed, you can just grab your empty game object and do:

 var gameObject = ... gameObject.AddComponent<Script>(); // where Script is the name of your Script C# class 

See http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.AddComponent.html
