How can i set Normal/Pushed/Highlight Texture names in Lua?

[Nikita S. Doroshenko]

I got a button with Textures:

-- friend = frame
local name = friend:GetName().."FavoritesButton"
local texture = "Interface\\Miscellaneous\\UI-Advanced-Friends-Frame-Favorites-Button"
local button = CreateFrame("Button", name, friend)
button:SetNormalTexture(texture.."-".."Normal")
button:SetPushedTexture(texture.."-".."Pushed")
button:SetHighlightTexture(texture.."-".."Highlight")
button:SetHitRectInsets(4, 4, 2, 2);
button:SetSize(32, 32)

This code makes a button with 3 textures - normal, pushed, and highlight. But when i /framestack and inspect this buttons, they are made without name, so texture names looks like this: FriendsFrameFriendsScrollFrameButton1FavoritesButton.0000000001d8293f80
FriendsFrameFriendsScrollFrameButton1FavoritesButton.0000000001d8293fd0
FriendsFrameFriendsScrollFrameButton1FavoritesButton.0000000001d8293fk0

But i would like to name this texture, to make them readable like this: FriendsFrameFriendsScrollFrameButton1FavoritesButtonNormalTexture
FriendsFrameFriendsScrollFrameButton1FavoritesButtonPushedTexture
FriendsFrameFriendsScrollFrameButton1FavoritesButtonHighlightTexture

I know that it's possible to make with XML:

<Frame name="FriendsFrameFriendsScrollFrameButton">
	<Button name="$parentFavoritesButton">
		<Size x="32" y="32"/>
		<Anchors>
			<Anchor point="TOPRIGHT">
				<Offset x="0" y="0"/>
			</Anchor>
		</Anchors>
		<NormalTexture name="$parentNormalTexture" file="Interface\FriendsFrame\TravelPass-Invite">
			<Size x="32" y="32"/>
			<TexCoords left="0.01562500" right="0.39062500" top="0.27343750" bottom="0.52343750"/>					
		</NormalTexture>
		<PushedTexture name="$parentPushedTexture" file="Interface\FriendsFrame\TravelPass-Invite">
			<Size x="32" y="32"/>
			<TexCoords left="0.42187500" right="0.79687500" top="0.27343750" bottom="0.52343750"/>
		</PushedTexture>
		<DisabledTexture name="$parentDisabledTexture" file="Interface\FriendsFrame\TravelPass-Invite">
			<Size x="32" y="32"/>
			<TexCoords left="0.01562500" right="0.39062500" top="0.00781250" bottom="0.25781250"/>
		</DisabledTexture>
		<HighlightTexture name="$parentHighlightTexture" file="Interface\FriendsFrame\TravelPass-Invite" alphaMode="ADD">
			<Size x="32" y="32"/>
			<TexCoords left="0.42187500" right="0.79687500" top="0.00781250" bottom="0.25781250"/>
		</HighlightTexture>
		<Scripts>
			-- ...
		</Scripts>
	</Button>
</Frame>

But i can't figure if it's possible to make in Lua. If it's possible, could you please point me, how can i make it. As always, I will very appreciate your help.

FriendsFrameFriendsScrollFrameButton1FavoritesButtonNormalTexture = button:GetNormalTexture()

That will assign a global, but it won't help you with /framestack, since that global isn't actually the name of the object.

You can give those textures names by creating them manually; "SetNormalTexture" is really just a shortcut.

local tex = frame:CreateTexture("$parentNormalTexture", "ARTWORK")
tex:SetAllPoints(true)
tex:SetTexture(texture.."-Normal")
button:SetNormalTexture(tex)

Do the same for the pushed/disabled/highlight textures. The highlight texture should be on the "HIGHLIGHT" layer instead of "ARTWORK" but pushed/disabled should be on the same layer as normal. It probably don't need to be "ARTWORK" but it should probably be consistent.

Though I have to say, seeing a name like "FriendsFrameFriendsScrollFrameButton1FavoritesButtonNormalTexture" really makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

Looks like a Blizzard name to me.

Though it follows naming convention, unless you actually want direct access to said object, I'd leave it unnamed.
