Quick Links
Requirements
- Macromedia Director 7.0 or greater.
- the BinaryIO and ConvertData Xtras
This code uses the BinaryIO Xtra to directly read the directory structure of a common ZIP file. The resulting list of files contained within the ZIP file is returned as a list of property lists (with one property list per entry inside the ZIP file).
The ZIP file format was found on Wotsit's Format.
I consider this script a work in progress. Additional functionality can easily be added, and there may be some platform-specific issues to be resolved (this was written and tested on a Windows-platform machine). Please feel free to offer suggestions. If you make any enhancements to this script, I would appreciate hearing about them.
