ActionScript 3.0 :: Read Excel Sheet Values From Flash Cs3/cs4?
Jun 14, 2010
I have a small doubt in flash cs3/cs4. can some one tell me, is ther any way to read EXCEL values from flash cs3/flash cs4. I want to read values from excel and to display from flash side.
I'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?
I have to load and read the content of a Excel sheet into a datagrid. I am using AIR to load the FileStream, but when I display that stream, it gives me some junk character.
i'm trying to perform simple automated test on my Adobe Air Application. I decide to store some test data in external MS Excel file to decrease hardcode quantity. But I discovered, that this is not a trivial task, when you're working with Adobe Air.
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.
Datagrid with 3 columns namely Name,Place and Country. In order to export these columns values to Excel sheet by Clicking a Button called 'Export to Excel'. When Click this button, the values in datagrid is exported in excel sheet.
I would like to read the be able to store the decibel values across intervals of a local mp3 into a text file. i think i can handle writing to a text file once i have the values
I have a problem while reading from XML file in action script 3.
This is my XML-file: <config> <production> <app_id>123</app_id> <server_path>http://someLinktoAccess</server_path> <assets_server>http://someLinktoAccess</assets_server>
I'm creating an online application to manage a shop. The user enters the item's barcode using a barcode reader then i am how read the barcode values using AS 3 ?
im trying to read values from a mysql database into different textboxes but as at now all the textboxes are filled with the same thing which is the first item of the database. This is not what i want. What i want is for the text boxes to be filled with the different items of the database. Attached to this message is the php code i have and the actionscript code
I've got a properties file with two distinct key-value pair patters like the following;name.name.name.key = valuename.name.fullname.key = valueAccessing them one by one is fine if the key is known.What I need now, though, is to access ALL values from say name.name.name without knowing the keys (integers to be exact). The values then have to be added to an ArrayList to be displayed in a List.The keys are completely random, so I don't know the range beforehand (I can't and don't want to hardcode the range of range of keys for each single properties file), so simply looping through a previously defined range isn't what I need here. Also, the keys are not successive.
How can I do this with AS3?Just for clarification as this seems to be a little confusing;I do not want to parse the properties file. I rather want to solve this using the methods AS and Flex already provide.The ResourceBundle class already has a method that outputs the content of the specified bundle. However, it contains all values. What I need is just a subset of values that match a given key pattern.Edit:To make this easier, I can drop the key pattern matching and create a new resource file with a distinct pattern. Now I only need to get all key-value pairs (I need both the integers from the keys and the value) from that resource.
I would like to know how much it would cost to create sheet input in flash like in this site [URL]..what knowledge do I need to have, to create it on my own.
I haven't worked with flash yet, that's bad, but language itself is not problem for me. The methods I need to know is the problem for this. My goal is so that user can input notes with his keyboard, and after he presses button in page, I get inputed string as letters, not as notes.
I am developing a small application, where the user can change the color of a box from a radio button(a-red or b-green). as soon as he changes the color, the respective color value(0xFF0000 or 0x5CBC32) should be updated in an xml sheet which is kept in a server.
i would prefer asp because the xml file will be placed in a windows server.
xml sheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <colors> <boxes> <box1>"here only i want to udpate the color value chosen by the user"</box1> </boxes> </colors>
I am pulling a blog into flash through an XML sheet. I have a clip in the library that gets attached per blog entry. The issue I am having right now is not all the posts are the same length so I am trying to adjust the clips background to the height of the post text box, but they are all reading as the same height so they aren't properly adjusting. I even have the text boxes set to autoSize = true;
Here is my code..the resizeBlog function is where I am trying to resize it and then I want to adjust its y property accordingly.
I installed Adobe Flash CS5.5 a couple of days back...Trying to learn a few basic tricks such as motion tween (messed up things with the bone tool though)..Well the problem is, a friend of mine made a 3D drawing in Solid Works(a modelling software). It is a sort of box, now he wants me to make a flash animation for the box which starts from a sheet of paper and folds into a box and then the camera zooms out.
Now i have no idea how to do that..jpg file can be made and imported to flash...but as it will be an imported file how can it be manipulated to achieve the final task....taking screen shots of the box at various stages of solid works can be done and then played all together in flash baut it would be very tiresome and time consuming... I dont want anyone to make it for me just guide me what tools and tutorials to look at.
For a project requirement, I want to make available editing of an excel file through browser. The only possible ways that I could think of was by embedding the excel file either in Flash or Silverlight. I am building my project on asp.net mvc3 c#. I wanted to know that is there a way by which this could be achieved? I shall be happy to start an open source project is need be so that people who are interested can collaborate together.
I'm looking to develop an application that allows you to set up an online spreadsheet or to be able to draw a custom table format. Can someone point me in the right direction. I've been googling for a week now and can't find any direction.
I 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?
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how easy (or tricky) it is to get data exchanged (either directly or indirectly) between Flash and Excel? IF generally it's to be avoided then is/are there any other option(s)
My friend and I were looking into trying to have flash (cs3 or 4 probably) communicate somehow with Excel*, I know this is a general question, but is that in any way possible?
