An example of how to use the NativeProcess classes in the AIR framework to achieve file compression via 7zip.
The code in this example was built using the Flex 4.5.1 SDK, however I'm confident it will work for earlier version of the Flex SDK.
The code in this example was built using the AIR 3.2 SDK.
Example is tested to prove it works using FlexUnit 4.1 RC 2.
File archiver used to compress a collection of files. The example uses the command line version of 7zip currently at version 0.92.
