I need to have a multiple extension search mask, so I'm adding my workaround for anyone interested.
Accepts a comma delimited string like this :
"*.xml,.*.flv"

public function getFiles(url:String, searchMask:String = ""):Array
{

var results:Array = new Array();

if(searchMask.indexOf(",")!=-1)
{
var allFiles:Array= searchMask.split(",").map(function(item:*){
return FileSystem.getFileList(url,item);
}).filter(function(item:*){
return item.length>0; });

for( var i:uint = 0; i < allFiles.length; i++)
{
for( var j:uint = 0; j < allFiles[i].length; j++)
{
results.push(allFiles[i][j]);
}
}

}
else
{
results = FileSystem.getFileList(url,searchMask);
}

return results;
}

You've got a typo in "Other Example" where you call "mewm.FileSystem" instead of "mdm.FileSystem"
