Accessing Objects via code

I understand javascript.... I'm just struggling with how to access objects.

I have an image object for example. I cannot figure out how to reference it.

I want to write a function to run when this image is tapped.

I tried the behavior script option but I find this very limiting.. I would rather control everything in code.

Hi Jonathon,

There's two ways to access the Image object. You can access it via the object itself
```
//@input SceneObject objectWithImage 

script.objectWithImage.getComponent("Component.Image")
```
Or accessing the image directly
```
//@input Component.Image imageComponent
```
You can see more information here: https://lensstudio.snapchat.com/guides/scripting/scripting-overview/

Let me know if you need any clarification.

Thanks,

Jonathan
