Hey Jason, I am talking about the desktop application, and I don't want to use any wrapper for flash. I am already having a .net wrapper which does it for me right now, but I want to get rid of it.
Flash alone can't do that? Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 6:48 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Create zip file through flash >>In my application I am having a button, which when pressed should compress >>some chunk of files to zip file. >> >>I am jus wondering whether this can be done through Flash or not? Depends on what you mean by "through Flash". Not natively in Flash because Flash is a client-side application. You're talking about a server (or local drive) application functionality. We've done this with a third party .NET component and Flash. We have a button in Flash which calls a SOAP webservice which runs the .NET component which compresses a directory of files into .zip. When the webservice returns that the .zip compression is complete, I do a getURL() in Flash to the new .zip file for the user to download.
