SetTexture problem

[Spawnova]

I'm trying to display an image when a certain buff is active and everything works except i always get a green box instead of the image
here my code:

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
local texture = frame:CreateTexture()
frame:SetPoint("CENTER",0,-80)
frame:SetWidth(128)
frame:SetHeight(24)
texture:SetAllPoints(frame)
texture:SetTexture("Interface\\Addons\\DSN\\DSN.tga")
frame:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")

i've run out of ideas and googled it a bit but couldn't find the problem

EDIT:
Problem was my file size was incorrect

For future reference, a green box indicates one of two things:

(1) no file existed at the path you specified (or did not exist when WoW launched; if you add files after opening WoW you must completely exit and restart in order to have them detected),

or

(2) the file at the path you specified is not a valid WoW texture file.

On a side note, you don't need to include the file extension (".tga") in the path. It doesn't hurt anything, but it's not necessary either.

They may have fixed it, but starting with Cataclysm (4.0), if while working on an addon and you have a PNG source image and an exported TGA file with the same name, it'll try to load the PNG file even though WoW doesn't support it yet. If you don't have any other files with the same name (different extension) then adding the extension isn't necessary. Otherwise, if you do, it's an extra step to make sure WoW loads in the correct image.

Make sure to reload WoW. Textures added while the game is running will not be recognized.

The Mac client supports PNG. Sounds like an oversight on Blizzard's part that the Windows client can even see PNG files... though I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't just add PNG support in the Windows client either.
