Non-resource texture scope

Questions & Answers
1

Hi all,

I'm loading a texture from disk (not in resources) using the www method. It loads fine and I store it in a persistent 'singleton' class. The problem is when I then change scene, the texture disappears as if its been destroyed. The only thing I can think is that maybe manually loaded textures get purged when the scene changes, although I'm holding a persistent ref to it?!

Using c# scripting. Loading code in persistent class:

WWW w = new WWW(picName);
while (!w.isDone)
    ;
if (w.error == null)
{
    mImage = w.texture;  // Hopefully copies texture...
}
w.Dispose();

Any ideas on this?

Loading a new scene will dump things like this. How are you holding it across scene loads? See this thread: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/841/scene-connecting
