View 1 RepliesHow does one save the value of a variable to an Excel/<spreadsheet of any kind> file? 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.

How do I export data in my datagrid to an Excel file in Flex?Can anyone provide some examples for that? 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? Is there a way to do that without using any server script ? Can't it be done in Flex alone?
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?

Or would the only way to do this be to code the whole thing into flash from the start?
I am looking to convert a 2007 MS Excel file into a XML output for my AS3 project. I have tried to save as XML data and it errors stating that XML mapping is required. I also have an option to save as 2003 XML worksheet, which works but it provides its own tags and I cant get the order right. I have also attempted to add VB code to the macro screen, but I am lost in the MS world. I just need a clean consistent XML output, no formulas just cell info.

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.)

Has anyone built a Flash app that reads Excel 97-2003 files, and is willing to share tips or code?

View 1 RepliesMy new project consists in setting a CD containing a structured data sheet (CVS, XML or Excel) and a serach engine. The idea is to allow the user (even not connected) to make searches live on the CD. There will also be a up-to-date version of the data on internet so if the user is connected, the application will prioritary load the online data.I was thinking at using ACTIONSCRIPT and XML.My questions are:1- Is ActionScript + XML a good choice?2- Is it possible to think at PHP + XML (so how to embed PHP on a CD without a sever?)

View 1 RepliesI have swing application in which there is MS excel like functionality. User can enter data in the columns. Most of the columns are drop down lists, so use have to select from the list. Can this functionality be easily built in Adobe Flex or GWT? Second complexity is depending upon what value is selected in a column, another column should show only those items which are related to selected value of first column. Its not country city data but for simplicity I am taking this example.
For example, first column is country and the second column is city. So depending upon what country is selected the second column will show only cities under that country. Its not just two drop down list on a page, its dropdowns of a row in a grid strructure. Is this possible in Adobe Flex or GWT or anyother web UI framework apart from Swing?
The problems im encountering seem like they have a simple answer, but i cant find it. The program has people generate 6 numbers that i need to record in a file so i can analyze them later in a stats program. Here is the code for the write to file portion. Some of the code may be redundant, not needed, or just plain wrong, as I kept changing things based on the error messages i got.
String(ce_0);
String(ce_1);
String(ce_2);[code]......
problem 1 is that when i click the check syntax button it says no errors, but 2 pop up in the compiler error box. The first is a 1084 saying it is expecting a right parenthese before the colon,the second is a 1078 (label must be a simple identifier).To see if it would work I removed the identifiers and the colons, and I get problem number 2. 3 errors pop up now. First,it says the resolve is a call to a possibly undefined method through static type. Second, it says iso is undefined (im assuming this is becuase it doesnt have the String identifier).Third, it says in the writeMultiByte method there is a coersion of Number types with String types(im assuming this is also becuase it is missing the identifier)i was also wondering what capabilities AIR has to write to Excel.I can go all the stats on the numbers in Excel,and if i can put the data directly in it would cut out a step,I just havent been able to find anything saying what AIR can and cant do regarding excel.

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?
