Wow! Great! It works :-)
Follow-up questions:
1) Is it possible to restrict other applications to access one's
assets files?
2) getAssets().list("") seems to list three directories by default:
images, sounds, and webkit. Is there some reason behind this, or did
some assets leak here that should not be here? (the images directory
contains for example "boot_robot.png" and "boot_robot_glow.png")
Thanks,
Peli
