Ok:

  • the file protocol also expects a hostname. If you want to refer to a local file, use file:///path/file
  • Application.dataPath will return the project folder but only in the editor. The project folder isn’t available at runtime. All assets get packed into resource-packages which are built into your final application.
  • The usual way to reference an asset is to simply drag the texture onto your Lcookie variable of your script in the inspector.
  • If you want to load it dynamically you could place the texture into a Resources folder and use Resources.Load. See this page for more details.
