Does anyone know of a way 2 embed an excel document into a flash projector??
The reason is that i have a excel docuemtn with about 100 cacluations and i don't aprticualrly want 2 code all the calcualtions into flash... Does anyone know an alternative and quick way of doing this??

not sure if it's possible, my guess would be it's not, but if i'm not mistaken you can actually export an excel file as a comma delimited (or whatever you want to use to split the data) and read that as an array in flash.

cheers... but the excel document does some quite complex calcualtions which i don't really want 2 recreate in flash...
I think we are goung 2 sack the idea anyways!!

so you don't want the output of those calculations but the calculations themselves? i don't know the structure of your excel file and i don't know how much work it is but it's not that difficult to copy/paste the calculations to flash and edit them.

Export "Flash Developer-Friendly" (tm) XML from an Excel spreadsheet into Access, and then export the table or query from Access into XML [assuming the first row in your Excel spreadsheet contains column headers]
or try

cheers guys for all the help... as my flash actionscripting is much stronger then playing around with access or porting in data i think we are just gonna grit our teeth and code it all in flash...
On another note though... i love that list view on the flash exchange page you posted.. anyone know where i can get the .fla to create a sorting list like that??
