yield StartCoroutine not compiling, yield return works fine

I've found code online that shows you can call yield StartCoroutine but when I try to use it I get a compiler error saying it doesn't recognize the type or namespace yield. Searching for this returns nothing and I can't find anyone saying yield StartCoroutine should not work but I'm beginning to think that maybe it's just not supported in the latest versions of Unity anymore. Any help appreciated. Here's my code. This is my login scene and basically what I'm trying to do is start a process that waits on WWW then load the next scene once it returns. The WWW code is encapsulated in director.GetAccountDetails. The compliation error occurs on line 18.

Although yield StartCoroutine doesn't work, other calls to yield are fine such as "yield return".

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4. using Assets.Directors;
5.  
6. public class Login : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     // Use this for initialization
9.     void Start () {
10.  
11.         GetAccountDetails();
12.     }
13.  
14.     IEnumerator GetAccountDetails()
15.     {
16.         Account director = gameObject.AddComponent("Account") as Account;
17.  
18.         yield StartCoroutine(director.GetAccountDetails());
19.  
20.         // load the next scene
21.         Application.LoadLevel("ManageTeams");
22.     }
23.  
24.     // Update is called once per frame
25.     void Update () {
26.    
27.     }
28.  
29.     void OnGui()
30.     {
31.         GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.width / 2 - 100, Screen.height / 2 - 15, 200, 30), "Loading...");
32.     }
33. }
34.  

 

That's not correct syntax for C#; you need to use "yield return new". See the docs.

Oh, OK, thanks. I was thinking it was probably something simple like that. I was able to fix it by changing my code to.

Code (CSharp):

1. yield return StartCoroutine(director.GetAccountDetails());

Thanks!
