Preloading folders of content with PreloadAssetManager?

Question

I'm currently using the following code to preload images into the browsers cache:
import gs.dataTransfer.PreloadAssetManager;
var preloader_obj = new PreloadAssetManager(["images/SS001small.jpg","images/sticker.jpg"], onFinish);
this.onEnterFrame = function() { //Just to update the preload status bar
    preloader_mc.bar_mc._xscale = preloader_obj.percentLoaded_num;
    preloader_mc.percent_tf.text = Math.round(preloader_obj.percentLoaded_num) + "%";
function onFinish(pl_obj:PreloadAssetManager):Void { //Gets called when all the assets are preloaded.
    trace("Finished preloading all " + pl_obj.assets_array.length + " assets!");
    var a = pl_obj.assets_array;
    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        trace("--Asset: " + a[i].url_str + " had a width of: " + a[i].width + ", a height of: "+a[i].height);
        if (a[i].fileType_str == "flv") {
            trace("FLV duration: "+a[i].duration);
    _root.onEnterFrame = null;
    gotoAndPlay("start");
stop();
these images are embedded using <img> tags in .xml files to make the website easy to update. At the moment everything works great, but the problem is that the code I have for my preloader requires you to list all of the images seperatly, which defeats the purpose of updating the content via XML. (Obviously, if you add any more images to the folder, you will need to edit the main website file to update the preloader)
Is there a way I can somehow tell this code to load all images inside the /images folder instead of listing the images seperatly?

Hello, if this is happening on multiple computers Intel and PPC, I doubt it is a new bug.
It sounds like a permissions problem. How is the backup drive formatted and or partitioned?
I just remembered something...some HD manufacturers blocked users from copying copy-write
material to some external drives(MP3's for example)...what type of external drive do you have?
You might be able to solve it by right-clicking (Ctrl-Click) the folder in question and select
"Get Info" from the drop down menu. At the bottom, click to unlock the "Permissions & Sharing"
then see if "Everyone" is "Read & Write" (you can change this by clicking the arrows under "privileges"
After Changed click on the gear icon just right of the +/- buttons and choose "Apply to inclosed items"
This MAY work...but I don't have this problem w/my systems.
Cheers,
