In example you posted there is a loop which writes to disk each packaged file. Modify this loop to create list of files and display this list to user. Below is modified onDirSelect method that adds filenames to Vector.

private var files:Vector.<String>;
private function onDirSelect(e:Event):void {
    files = new Vector.<String>();
    for(var i:uint = 0; i < zipFile.entries.length; i++)
    {
     var zipEntry:ZipEntry = zipFile.entries[i] as ZipEntry;
     files.push( zipEntry.name );
    }
   }

You can find more detailed example at AS3 Zip Library homepage - http://nochump.com/blog/archives/15
