It seems your right, I tried removing the header info already, but it looks more complex than I thought. I can actually see the original filename in the header. After all that experimenting with a hex editor I forgot to actually check the file itself. Why is it every time I post on a forum or mailing list about a problem I could've always solved it myself but I overlooked something obvious?
I'll get right on this. Tomorrow. Thanks Nicolas, this is not the first time you saved me. On 8/9/06, Nicolas Cannasse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

There's a GZ header before the DEFLATE stream, see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1952.html Nicolas _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
