Hi, great job!

FZip library doesn’t uncompress zip files with data description blocks but YOUR LIBRARY DO IT WELL.

Thanks! It was helpful for me.

I got ‘unexpected file format’ when I want to install SWF in to Flash CS3.
Anyone had this issue?

@ dchang:
Very nice topic and helpful solutions, thanks!
Now, I’ve been working on the problem myself for a while because I was used to creating shared font libs in the IDE.
However, when creating a font lib using the Flex SDK as you suggest, would it not be easier to directly register the fonts in the constructor of the FontLibrary?

That way you wouldn’t need to care about getting definitions and fishing for included font classes you might not even know the class names of (maybe someone else created the font class and didn’t document it properly ). Moreover, your application wouldn’t even need to know a thing about the fonts if the style definitions were included in an external style sheet that was loaded and applied as well.
VoilÃ , no more font mess in the application: you load the lib, you load the style sheet and you create textfields and apply styles without knowing anything about fonts.

@ danny:
if you add a linkage to your font in the IDE (e.g. “AssetFont”) you do can register that font in your application without having to define an extra Main.as for your lib FLA.
After having loaded the lib into your application as suggested in the above code use the getDefinition() approach to get your fonts definition via the font’s linkage you applied in the IDE:

Example (font’s linkage is “AssetFont”):

// dchangs loader code goes here …

private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
var tSender : LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(event.target);
var AssetFont : Class = tSender.applicationDomain.getDefinition(“AssetFont”) as Class;
Font.registerFont(AssetFont);

// use font from here on…
}

Fantastic package. Reads every zip file!
I use it to load 3D data stored in an xml file which is know zipped.
So I only need to load 28kb instead of ther original 470kb.

It’s amazing!
Well done…
