270 Chapter 14 Scripting the Visual Tools Object Model
ZIPProvider Object
The
ZIPProvider
object is the general purpose PKZIP services object used by the
Visual Tools for ZIP file composition and extraction. You can use this object in your
VTOM scripts for low-level PKZIP operations from within the Visual Tools. Because
Macromedia uses a licensed control for its ZIP operations, you cannot use
ZIPProvider outside of the Visual Tools.
