LoadDirect

Load an asset with the given asset path, if it exists, regardless of the state or context. If there are two or more assets with the same path, the asset with the highest id number (most-recently created) is returned. Use IsLoaded to see if loading was successful. Don't use this if you expect the asset to have branches. It will load assets, that may not be available on the server where you are publishing.
