Actionscript 3 - FZip

Tags: ,

I must have missed this one in the aggregators, so thought it worth mentioning. Claus Wahlers has put together a rocking Actionscript 3 class that can progressively load and unpack the contents of zip files in Flash Player 9, which is really useful for image galleries and other such applications that involve lots of external files, simply because you can stuff all the files inside just one zip file, stick it on the server and load that into your application, then unpack it on the fly and access the files inside. Checkout FZip.
