Wondering if anyone can tell me whether it is possible to take an excel spreadsheet with its equations and all and place it into a Flash file so that it can work within the flash presentation.
Or would the only way to do this be to code the whole thing into flash from the start?

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?

Also, is it possible to do this without using CGI, Perl, js, etc non-Flash scripts?If you could assist me in how to save the value of a variable to *any* type of file that'd be good as well...I was utterly confused after reading the documentation.In case you're wondering why I'm asking this, I will be conducting a science experiment involving Flash. Subjects will be shown a series of slides, each slide containing one four leaf clover amidst a field of three leaf clovers. They will be timed to see how long to click on the four leaf clover. The purpose is to see if there exists any correlation between time taken to click and number of slides seen.

I am browsing but couldn't find out a single example of that kind.Browsed a lot and found out how to convert datagrid data to csv format. Now How to convert that to excel?

View 6 RepliesI have a Flex application with a couple of DataGrids with data. I'd like to save the data to a file so that the user can keep working with them in Excel, OpenOffice or Numbers.
I'm currently writing a csv file straight off, which opens well in OpenOffice or Numbers, but not in Excel. The problem is with the Swedish characters, which turn up as other characters when opening in Excel. Converting (in Notepad++) the csv-file to ANSI encoding makes the show up correctly in Excel.
Is there any way to write ANSI-encoded files straight from Flex?
Any other options for writing a file that can be opened in Excel and OpenOffice?

View 2 RepliesI am working with this function that moves an object around a center point in a perfect circle and am trying to modify it to move it in an oval shape that is 1/2 as high as it is wide?
Basically, I have a set speed
var myVelocity:Number = 0.25;
Then I calculate my Sine and Cosine based on the speed
var myCos:Number = Math.cos(myVelocity);
var mySin:Number = Math.sin(myVelocity);
Then I figure the distance of the the object from a fixed center points along each axis and
var x1:Number = myBall.x - centerX;
var y1:Number = myBall.y - centerY;
var x2:Number = myCos * x1 - mySin * y1;
var y2:Number = myCos * y1 + mySin * x1;
myBall.x = centerX + x2;
myBall.y = centerY + y2;
I have another function that figures x and y based upon myBall.x = centerX + cos(angle) * radius; that is easy enough to modify the radius to become an ellipse, but is there an easy way to mod the one above to become an ellipse? I want to do this to be more efficient with the code and reduce the number of math function calls

View 2 RepliesI have a need to build many Algebra and Geometry equations in Flash. I am looking for some kind of flash plugin that will typeset these equations so that I don't have to build them by hand. For instance, if I had a fraction 1/2 or 134/489 and I was stacking the numerator over the denominator, the fraction line would adjust to the length of the longest number.
I know that the InMath plugin works like this for InDesign, but the formatting breaks in the few file types that are able to be imported into Flash. Is anyone aware of such a plugin made specifically for flash?

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for recommendations for a spreadsheet-like input facility to sit in an ASP MVC environment.
The client currently has a large number of very complex interlinked shared spreadsheets (which they are effectively running 90% of their core business from) for collecting and processing information. They wish to move this to a web application and require ASP MVC. They realise that they will not be able to display as much information on screen as they do currently with their spreadsheets, so a 40 x 60 grid should suffice in most cases. Of this they'll be a limited number of cells for data entry that will immediately update other cells in the grid using various spreadsheet-like formula. The grid must be AJAX enabled.
The quality of the user-interface is of primary concern here. As inevitably there will be a certain amount of resistance to move to database/web (and this project is a pilot anyway) the system must be as slick as possible. Almost as important is ease of implementation - the final system will be quite large so the quicker it is possible to configure the grid the better.
Either Open Source or commercial would be fine. HTML/Javascript, Silverlight and Flex implementations can all be considered.I initially asked a similar question a year ago (it's taken that long for the client to agree the project) but I'm sure options have changed since then and our environment is now better defined.
