URLs referencing embedded files (ie. those whose path starts with ':') 
need to be prefixed with qrc: rather than file:. fromLocalFile() should 
handle this automatically - but it doesn't.

The following should work...

root = QFileInfo(__file__).absolutePath()
root_url = 'qrc:' if root.startswith(':') else root

url = QUrl(root_url + '/appPackage/qml/toolBar.qml')
