hello again

quick one,  when loading meshes in away3d 4, is it possible to have them zipped (*.zip)?  When loading meshes dynamically on the web, we can have major loading time improvements if meshes are zipped during transfer. does away3d support auto unzipping or should it be added to the codebase?  (an auto unzip option while loading meshes).

thanks

Zipping should be no problem for as3, there’s a couple of libraries out there that you can use. Like this one:

Just load the file with a loader and parse it and there you have it.

Thanks for your answer,

i guess im also wondering, is it possible to integrate the unzipping operation in the builtin file loading features of away3d?  (a preprocess file event for example when loading).

thanks
