Adding preload to existing code

Adding preload to existing code

I have a plugin running that seems to have problems starting before images are loaded (this is my best guess). I just need to preload an array of images before the script starts. I do not need to pull the image names from the page, since they are static files and will always be the same ones. How do I add a simple preload function to this script? I have tried to no avail!

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery("div#makeMeScrollable").smoothDivScroll({ mouseDownSpeedBooster: 2, scrollStep: 2, scrollInterval: 6, autoScroll: "always", autoScrollDirection: "endlessloopright", startAtElementId: "startAtMe", autoScrollStep: 1, autoScrollInterval: 15, visibleHotSpots: "always", ajaxContentURL: "http://www.binabrianca.com/carousel_ajax.html"});
});
jQuery("div#makeMeScrollable").toggle("mouseover", function() {
jQuery(this).smoothDivScroll("stopAutoScroll");
}).bind("mouseout", function() {
jQuery(this).smoothDivScroll("startAutoScroll");
});
