FZip is a smashing new utility that allows you to load zipfiles into SWFs at runtime, accessing each file as the archive progressively loads. The official page is here but the latest versions are often found at Claus Wahlers' blog.
My trouble with it was that archives created by Mac OSX are incompatible with it, and will make FZip throw an error, “Data descriptors are not supported.” The other trouble is that I'm not a command-line geek so it took me a while to figure out how to zip a file, then apply the included Python-based patch. Hopefully someone with real OSX skills will create some little app that batches these processes, they're a real pain but at least we Mac users can now stream ZIP files... Woohoo!
Wordpress is erroring out every time I try and post this information but it can be found in this comment.
I missed this March post from Tuesday Creative that puts Fuse in very impressive company, alongside great Open Source Flash projects like XRay, ASUnit, ActionStep and more. When it comes to handing Fuse the #1 slot, the wise words of The Dude seem fitting: "Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man." (Especially when it comes to including Eclipse on this list, which is really in an echelon of its own.) But it's an honor to even be thought of in the same league as these other ActionScript heavies, so thanks kindly Tuesday, this made my day!
The most robust and efficient AS 2.0 tween engine in the world, an animation sequencer with highly compact, legible syntax... Were this list broken down by types of merit, this project would be near the top for technical achievement, application in the real world, and number one for usability and practicality. I honestly don’t know how I ever lived without Fuse.

Note: their link to the Fuse site is broken, here's a working one.
I've started a new feature at the Fuse website called "Featured Fuser".
Honors currently go to NAWLZ, an incredible interactive comic book, built with Fuse!
