Parameters

Returns

AssetBundleCreateRequest Asynchronous create request for an AssetBundle. Use assetBundle property to get an AssetBundle once it is loaded.

Description

Asynchronously loads an AssetBundle from a file on disk.

The function supports bundles of any compression type. In case of lzma compression, the data will be decompressed to the memory. Uncompressed and chunk-compressed bundles can be read directly from disk.

This is the fastest way to load an AssetBundle.

public class LoadFromFileAsyncExample extends MonoBehaviour {
	function Start() {
		var bundleLoadRequest = AssetBundle.LoadFromFileAsync(Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "myassetBundle"));
		bundleLoadRequestvar myLoadedAssetBundle: var = bundleLoadRequest.assetBundle;
		if (myLoadedAssetBundle == null) {
			Debug.Log("Failed to load AssetBundle!");
			return;
		}
		var assetLoadRequest = myLoadedAssetBundle.LoadAssetAsync.<GameObject>("MyObject");
		yield return assetLoadRequest;
		var prefab: GameObject = assetLoadRequest.asset as GameObject;
		Instantiate(prefab);
		myLoadedAssetBundle.Unload(false);
	}
}
