AssetBundles let you stream additional assets via the WWW class and instantiate them at runtime. AssetBundles are created via BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundles.
Note that bundles are not compatible between platforms. A bundle built for any of the standalone
platforms (including webplayer) can only be loaded on that platform but not others.
Furthermore, a bundle built for iOS is not compatible with Android and vice versa. This is because they have fundamentally different formats for certain asset types between the devices - such as shaders and texture formats.

GetAllScenePaths | Return all the scene asset paths (paths to *.unity assets) in the AssetBundle. |
LoadAllAssets | Loads all assets contained in the asset bundle that inherit from type. |
LoadAllAssetsAsync | Loads all assets contained in the asset bundle asynchronously. |
LoadAsset | Loads asset with name from the bundle. |
LoadAssetAsync | Asynchronously loads asset with name from the bundle. |

name | The name of the object. |
GetInstanceID | Returns the instance id of the object. |
ToString | Returns the name of the game object. |
