I'm writing a program that processes a huge 4MB binary file in Flash 9.
Thing is, if I compress it (specifically with gzip) I can lower the size to
1.67MB. My problem is that I can't uncompress it using ByteArray's
uncompress() feature on the gzipped file.
The documentation for compress() says that it uses zlib compression.
Zlib is
a compression library that is based on gzip. The even use the same
algorithim, DEFLATE. I'm sure there's a way to do this.
Does anybody have any ideas? Since they're roughly the same it seems like
all you'd need is to change some header values, but I can't find anything
myself.
There's a GZ header before the DEFLATE stream, see
