What's LZMA Support in AIR 3.8 beta mean?

LZMA Support – On iOS and Android, LZMA compressed swfs can now be packaged and are supported.

When I use AIR3.7 release ipa when packaged swf could not load the swf files. I have to convert all swf files content to swcs to use.

The new feature means the problem is solved?

At one point I was getting an error about not enough memory to use the compress feature, so I turned that off completely. The final IPA size wasn’t affected, and even the swf size was the same. That make sense in a way, because swcs are already zip compressed.

I see that the option to choose LZMA is grayed out in Flash Pro CC, for the FLA that is to become the IPA. Also, publishing a 7MB swc with LZMA only reduced the file size by 24 bytes.

Thanks for your reply!

Is that mean if I use this my final ipa size will reduce many times?

I use many swces.
