I can see this being pretty useful. It would definately simplify one of my apps, where I currently use swfmill to combine a directory of a bunch of JPEGs into a single swf for faster loading. Instead, I can just use a standard zip file!

A quick progress report, just in case somebody is interested: We kinda got it working. See here for a rough demo: http://codeazur.com.br/stuff/fzip/ Flash Player 9 required, obviously. I grabbed the original ZIP from here: http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/ and use it as is. It contains 1002 icons in PNG format. Flash Player loads the ZIP via URLStream and decodes it on the fly. This works because the zipped PNGs are not being recompressed (PNG already uses compression). Max wrote a small Python script that unobtrusively injects Adler32 checksums into ZIPs, so very soon we'll be able to properly uncompress slightly modified, but still standard ZIP archives. Sources are going to be released soon, stay tuned.
