Yes, you’ll need to do something like have a GUITexture and set it’s texture member from the image you download.

So, usually you’d add a GUITexture game object into your scene. You can set the texture on that GUITexture to be any texture you have in your project. By default it’s a Unity logo or something (I forget). Then, in script, you need to have a connection to this GUITexture. You’d do that with something like:

var gt : GUITexture;

This means that you can drag and drop your GUITexture onto the slot that appears in the inspector - just select the GameObject that has your script on it. Now you have a variable that links to your GUITexture. Once the WWW request completes you can do something like:

gt.texture = WWW.texture;

You’ll probably want to do some background research on these topics.

thank you for your answer,
well, i did it as the same that told. but it still doesn’t work.
here is my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class onClickEvent : MonoBehaviour {
    public string url = "file://C:/Users/Alone/Documents/New Unity Project 9/image.png";
    void OnClick(){
                Application.CaptureScreenshot ("image.png");
                loadImage ();
                }
    private GUITexture gt;
    IEnumerable loadImage(){
               WWW www = new WWW(url);
                yield return www;
                gt.texture = www.texture;
                   
    }

        }

Instead of Using “Application.CaptureScreenshot” just use RenderTexture and convert that RenderTexture to Texture2D and set as a texture of an object.
