Can anone tell me what this function does?

function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
if (a[i].indexOf(“#”)!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}

Thanks

@pj59Jan 13.2005 — It is a js function from macromedia, inserted in pages created by mm software. It is supposed to preload images, the src's of which are passed to the function as arguments (usually onload of the document).

Wherever I see 'MM_whatever' in a code snippet, I tend to think (no offense to those who use such stuff): you will have to take a deeper look into that code because it is created with the "help" of mm.
