E00Parser, an ActionScript 3 Parser for the Arc/Info Export Topological GIS Format (IndieMaps)

[Editor’s note: Zach Johnson promo’s his ActionScript 3 class for reading in .e00 GIS files to Flash. Useful for creating cartograms and other graphic representations reliant on topological relationships. Originally posted there Feb. 21, 2009.]

First off, why mess with such a retro format as Arc/Info Export (.e00)?– any code written for this ASCII file type in the last few years has been on how to go from e00 to pretty much anything (especially to the non-topological data format, the shapefile).

Put simply, topological information makes a lot of things possible for the intrepid ActionScripter.
