What kind of assets are you talking about? Compression isn't going to do anything for you with SWF, PNG, JPEG, MP3, GIF, FLV. Text is all you're really going to be able to compress. Even that may already be compressed by HTTP if the server and the browser are configured and able to do so. If you really do have a use case for text compression, search for zlib as3. -bob _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
