Note: I had to download the latest 7-Zip 9.20 in order to work. My previous 4.97 version didn’t work.

Thanks for Claus’ help. This turns out to be Windows problem. Extracting the zip file in Mac (English OS) or using 7-Zip on Windows shows the correct file name in Chinese.

Sharon, the ZIP format generally doesn’t handle filenames in non-UTF8 encodings well, the spec is quite fuzzy about that.

I haven’t been able to test ZIP archives with filenames containing chinese characters yet.. if you like, you could send me a test archive that fails in FZip (claus at codeazur dot com dot br) and i’ll take a look.

The update mentioned that the problem with filenames containing special characters has been fixed. However, I am still seeing weird characters in filenames, instead of Chinese. I have tried specifying “utf-8″ in the FZip constructor and got the latest swc. Any idea?

hi. i was wondering how come there’s no way to assign a loader context to the fzip object. it seems the zip file absolutely has to be on the same domain as the swf…

Hi Claus, I know this message may seem late, but I have been searching for solutions for packaging large amounts of xml files or even compressing them. The fZip seems to be an obvious solution, however for the life of me I cannot get it working. I have all of the files in the proper order, but no luck. I’ve even referenced the code snippets that I’ve found here and there but still no luck. Though I have been developing Flash for a few years now, I am not real good with packages. I understand them and all, but I’m probably missing something simple. Could possibly send me an example .fla that shows fZip working? I’m sure you are a busy person, but I would greatly appreciate any help that you may be able to offer.

Cheers!
