Yeah the more I think about this, the stronger the developing headache in my head gets. Any sort of 'clever' idea I think up in my head quickly works out to be quite dumb due to basic math.
Sucks that gzip actually produces a LONGER output if the string is too short, otherwise it would've been perfect. Huffman coding might give you some space savings but the question is; does ActionScript even have a usable Huffman algo in it's libraries?
I had a fun time looking for one implemented in PHP when working on a Skulltag server status script (before noticing it was right under my nose I guess ¦D)
