Storing var in array

Question

Do I have to set the array to a specific type so that it will store the images or is it something else. The images are stored in the Images.xcassets

class GameScene: SKScene {

   var blueTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "BlueBall.png")
   var greenTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "GreenBall.png")
   var redTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "redTexture.png")

   var array = [blueTexture, greenTexture, redTexture]
   //error: GameScene does not have a member called blueTexture
   //this goes for the other textures as well

This is because you can't access other properties during initialization, so you could replace you current code with this:

var blueTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "BlueBall.png")
var greenTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "GreenBall.png")
var blueTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "BlueBall.png")

var array:[SKTexture]!
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) 
{
    array = [blueTexture,greenTexture,blueTexture]      
}

Also, you made two blueTextures.
