View 3 RepliesI'm exploring the feasibility of reading data from a local Excel file in a Flash application.
XLSX READER [URL], it's possible to read Excel 2007 files.
It works beautifully.
However, that function doesn't read Excel 97-2003 files.
I found this:
[URL]
Which should read Excel files in Flex, but I'm working on a Flash application, and it looks like as3xls relies on a number of Flex only functions and types (ArrayCollection, NumberFormatter, etc.)
Since I'm not familiar with Flex, I'm having a difficult time making the adjustments myself.
Has anyone built a Flash app that reads Excel 97-2003 files, and is willing to share tips or code?
Is it possible to use flash to read and write data on an excel/google documents file?

Actually, i need to correct initialize an excelApp object, the rest part of logger is already implemented. I tried the following approach, but I can't find a package with ActiveXObject class defined.
excelApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
What is the best way to open and parse and excell file from a Flex Application built using Adobe Flash Builder 4.5. I have done tons of research, most lead me to external libraries, I could deal with that if that is the best approach, but prefer a built in method.
View 3 RepliesI've got this interactive poem I've been working on for a class. I've basically finished each "episode" seperately. I made a parent document which essentially loads one of the ten child documents onto the respective key frame. Here's a sample of the code for the first key frame of the parent document:
stop();
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, LoadSWF2);
[Code]....
Well Two things are messed up about it, well my "ChildTimeline2" variable will off and on assosciate itslef not with the main time line of a child document, but of a nested symbol inside said child document. Even worse, the "gotoAndStop();" command I will give sometimes applies to Parent document... yaay! but often it will apply to the child document. The end result being this horrible looping moment where you are stuck in one child document for all time.
I wish I could attach the documents but they exceed the 300KB. how I can get Actionscript to listen fro the last frame of the maintimeline of the child document, or tell flash to gotoandStop for the parent document

We're working with a product called ProForm to create online courses that are Flash-based. It's a pretty cool product, created by Rapid Intake and using ActionScript 2 as the basis.
The problem we're seeing is that when we try to use this method to connect directly to Office documents, the links fail to open the documents in Internet Explorer. When using Firefox, they work fine, and soon after clicking the link the user receives a dialog asking if they wish to save or open the document. This is the behavior which we expected in IE, and which one can achieve by holding the CTRL button and clicking the link (and don't ask me how that was figured out, 'cuz I don't know). But when just clicking the link in IE, a browser window briefly pops up, then the thing disappears and nothing else happens - no file opens, no dialog appears, nothing.
My team and I are considering switching to using the "Flash CS5 Uncompressed Document (*.xfl)" option in Flash CS5 based on the assumption that it will allow better collaboration and conflict resolution when working in a version-controlled (SVN) environment. We would like to avoid the common situation of irresolvable conflicts when multiple people edit an FLA. at least in the initial release of Flash CS5: [URL] Has anyone had success or failure with this approach? Is this a favourable or detrimental change in workflow?
View 1 RepliesFor some reason whenever I try to access a any of the files within a project that I'm working on it goes extremely slow. I'll click something, or type something and it'll take like 30 seconds before I actually see it do anything. I never had this problem with this project before, seems like it came out of no where. If I just make a new document, or goto another project it's fine.
View 7 Repliesgot a new problem with Flash CS4 which came up yesterday after trying to profile a swf with Flex Builder (3).As soon as I close a open document (like fla, as) or close a running swf (started with Cmd+Enter) it crashes. Reinstalled CS4 today, but the problem is still there. Really annoying stuff.

I'm a newbie in actionscript. I created a world map in flash. The map has regions (Europe, North America, Latin America, etc.). The regions on the map are defined as buttons.
The final flash map will be embedded in an html document (map.html). The idea is that when you click for example the "Europe" button on the flash movie, this will open an html document called Europe.html and will show it underneath the map flash (inside map.html). The "Europe.html" for example contains a list of countries. In this mission I have 2 problems:
1. What script I have to attach to every region button on the flash map so it will call the right html file into the div on the map.html?
2. What script do I have to put inside the html document?

I accidentally posted this topic in the Game/AI Programming section by mistake right below this due to lack of sleep so I reposted here.

View 1 RepliesI have pretty good basic "action script" skills for developing flash files and movies, but I don't know how to do dynamic things with asp, aspx, etc. I have a local application that runs form my computer and is not connected to the internet. The application keeps track of button clicks on each buttton as separate variables. Here is my question ... each time the flash movie runs and buttons are clicked, I want to record the clicks on each button (which exist in the application at runtime) and save them to something like an excel spreadsheeet or access database. Any easy way to do this without getting into server-side stuff?
