Untar Worker for Adobe AIR
==========================
Untar Worker for Adobe AIR is an ActionScript 3 Worker class used to extract
uncompressed gnu-tar files, created using `tar -cf`, in the background.
The Worker runs once, then self-terminates on completion.
Released under BSD license. Requires AIR 3.4+.
Example Project
---------------
A simple Flex project for Adobe AIR example Flash Builder project is included in the examples folder, which enables you to select and extract a tar to a chosen folder.
Code Example
------------
```as3
protected var untarWorker:Worker;
protected var resultChannel:MessageChannel;
[Embed(source="UntarWorker.swf", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
protected var untarWorkerClass:Class;
protected function untar(sourcePath:String, targetPath:String):void
{
// giveAppPrivileges parameter MUST be set to true!
untarWorker = WorkerDomain.current.createWorker(new untarWorkerClass(), true);
untarWorker.addEventListener(Event.WORKER_STATE, untarWorker_workerState);
resultChannel = untarWorker.createMessageChannel(Worker.current);
resultChannel.addEventListener(Event.CHANNEL_MESSAGE, resultChannel_channelMessage);
untarWorker.setSharedProperty("sourcePath", sourcePath);
untarWorker.setSharedProperty("targetPath", targetPath);
untarWorker.setSharedProperty("resultChannel", resultChannel);
untarWorker.start();
}
protected function untarWorker_workerState(event:Event):void
{
trace("untarWorker.state =", untarWorker.state);
}
protected function resultChannel_channelMessage(event:Event):void
{
var success:Boolean = resultChannel.receive() as Boolean;
switch (success)
{
case true:
true("Success!");
break;
default:
trace("Error: are you sure that was a tar?");
break;
}
}
