RE: FLASH: runtime packer...

[Kevin Jackson]

Not familiar with the term either but if you are talking about an ability to

package a file or group of files for transmission then best utility I have

used for that on the PC is ZipMagic 2000. It allows zipping and unzipping

and a host of other compression schemes (not Stuffit however).


Reason I like it for the type of things we do: You can make self-extracting

ZipFiles for a customer with an opening message advising them what the file

is going to do so that they don't cower in fear. It feels much like an

installer to a novice. You can set a default extraction folder  (which they

can override if they wish) It can be set to start the projector or

PowerPoint presentation (or whatever else is needed after the files are

unzipped.) In short you can almost dummy proof the whole thing.

buy. - John Waters
