[away3d] Away3D Collada texture not showing

[microsheep]

Hi,

I was following the skeleton tutorial on chapter 9 from the Away3D
book.
Model was loaded just fine, but I didn't get any texture for the
skeleton...

Both model and texture resides within an "asset" folder, just next to
the swf file...

code:
var collada:Collada = new Collada();
_loader = new Loader3D();
_loader.addEventListener(Loader3DEvent.LOAD_SUCCESS, modelLoadedCb);
_loader.loadGeometry('./assets/skeleton.dae', collada);
_view.scene.addChild(_loader);

Appreciate any help,
Thanks,
EZ

P.S.
When trying to do the same with Away3DLite, texture was showing
