zip object help

[iammfa]

Hi all..
i trying protect my external "png" file from modify with zip archive, i tried using zip object extension, i saved my application file beside the zip file called "abc.zip" i successed in loading it by:

startframe >>> zip>addfile>Apppath$+"abc.zip">ok

my problem: what should i do after that to unzip and use the file png to put it on the stage..?

What are you trying to achieve with this? PNG files are already compressed.

I did this to protect my files in an app I was making. It worked very well.

1. Add all of your images and data files to a folder and use Winrar or something to zip it into a zip archive with a password. (Do this outside of MMF2)
2. In MMF2, add a "Start of Frame" event. Under the Zip Object, add the following two lines:

"Open Zip: AppPath$+"Your Folder Name Here.zip"
"Unzip To: AppPath$

thanks stephen1980, unzip worked well, but still problem, when i trying import PNG file, which unziped by MMF2 the message appear "Unknown Format" ...!

I don't think MMF2 can read the files without unzipping them first. Just do as mentioned above, and then use the File Object and the end of your application to remove all the files that you unzipped.
