Zipping files from different folders

Hi. Just bought AspZip and finding extremely useful. Struggling a bit with zipping multiple files from different folders into one zip though.

'create temporary file name for output zip file
FileName = Zip.GetTempFileName(Server.MapPath("zipFolder"), "test", ".zip")

'create new zip file
Zip.New(FileName)

'set root folder
Zip.RootDirectory = Server.MapPath("images/")

'add files to archive
Zip.FileList.Add("pic.jpg")
Zip.FileList.Add("anotherpic.jpg")

'save zip file
FileCount = Zip.Save

If I use this code all images have to be in the images folder. I tried resetting the root folder after each FileList.Add but just got 2nd image in zip.

I want to be able to loop through a list of images and 'collect them' from several places in the site.

Any help much appreciated.
Stilts :)

To add files from different folders just use absolute file paths when you add them to file list

e.g.

'create new zip file
Zip.New(FileName)

'add files to archive
Zip.FileList.Add(Server.MapPath("images/") & "pic.jpg")
Zip.FileList.Add(Server.MapPath("anotherfolder/") & "anotherpic.jpg")

'save zip file
FileCount = Zip.Save
