Change material using code

[UnGamer]

Hello,
The version I’m using is 2.4.3.
Need help to change the material of a sprite in script.
I know how to change it in cocos creator app (drag and drop) but can we do that using script during the game.
Lets say I have 2 material MaterialA and MaterialB. initially the sprite this.player has material as MaterialA I want to change it to MaterialB during the game.

I got the below as solution
Define this property in your script and assign material in editor

MaterialB: {

        default: null,

        type: cc.Material

    },

After that add this in script where you need to change

this.node.getChildByName(“Name_Of_The_node”).getComponent(cc.Sprite).setMaterial(0,this.MaterialB)

This will change material from previous material to MaterialB.
If there is a better way to do it do mention it.
Thank you.
