Load image asset at runtime with Unity 3D

I am loading a PNG image from the asset folder like so:

string texture = "Assets/Sprites/Maps/Map1.png";
Texture2D tex = (Texture2D)AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(texture, typeof(Texture2D));

This works fine, but upon building the game it doesn't work. I guess it's because this is a debug/editor specific function that the Unity Player can't handle.

My question: Is there another way to load image assets that works with the compiled game?

Asset folder no longer exists after you built. You need to store your asset in Resources or StreamingAssets folders.
