is it possible to load a bitmap from with in another zipfile than the xml is in?

[Plague]

Ok, to explain the topic a bit..
I need to load a bitmap which is located in a zipfile but it's not the zipfile which contains the xml files..
That zipfile doesn't contain a single xml file at all and I really want to avoid having to unpack the bitmap..
Don't ask

now, is this possible at all to do from xml?
I havent gotten it to work, but I KNOW it's possble to load other xml files from within a zipfile, so why not bitmaps?

what r u trying to do?!?!
hmm why not put an xml file in the bitmap's zip which will call the bmp
then call the xml in the bmp's zip with the original xml
hope this works

yea that works, I know, and I really wish it was that simple!
But the thing is, I can't put a xml file inside the bitmap's zip.
It has to be unmodified..

thanks though
more suggestions?

u know wa3 extracts everything included in the wal in the Temp folder (at least i think so)
hm u should think of how to extract the bitmap's zip in the Temp somehow (it'll be difficult if not impossible, since it's not a skin itself) sorry man, i'// think about it again

keep u informed, good luck
