There are a few libraries out there that deal with ZIP files in as3, but beware that this is no easy task for a beginner in ActionScript 3.

• FZip seems to be the most widely used, but it requires that the ZIP archives have Adler32 checksums. Provided with the library there is a Python script that injects the checksum into ZIP files to preprocess the files before unzipping them.

• As3 port of JZlib, an as3 library to use with Fzip instead of the Python script mentioned above.

• AS3 Zip Library (the author states that is slower than FZip) that avoids the Addler32 checksum problem.

• On Adobe Air, you can take a look at a detailed explanation and a working example in this article on the adobe website.

Hope this helps!
