Dynamically Change Visual Element's Background Image in Unity UI Builder

I want to add and remove a Visual Element background image from Unity UI Builder using scripting. I know that this line lets you dynamically change the text of a label in UI Builder:

name_of_my_UI_Builder_Label.text = "Change Label To This Text";

Is there something similar I can do to access my background image here?

name_of_my_UI_Builder_Label.style.backgroundImage = new StyleBackground(sprite);

visualTree.Q("TARGET_ELEMENT").style.backgroundImage = sprite;

The easiest method to do this is,

  • Create an image component.

  • Add a script in which you can add the sprites that you wish to display as a background.

     `public Sprite[] sprites;
  public int loadIndex
  private Image image;

  private void Start()
  {
   image = GetComponent<Image>();
   image.sprite = sprites[loadIndex];  
  }
