Open Zip files in Flash…AS3 Zip class

Filed under: Flash — Wrote by Campbell on Friday, September 15th, 2006 @ 6:12 pm

Props go out to Claus Wahlers and Max Herkender for thier efforts. They have released to the general public thier FZip class which allows you do download and unzip files in AS3.

Now even though browser support for Gzipped requests is pretty high these days it makes a nice idea to package file in a zip for releases.

See Claus's website for some sample usage code.

    can you zip up a file in the flash player and send it to your server? (not to be feature greedy or anything) ;)

    You can also go to open zip file to open your zip files online. I hope it would be a great help.
