Frank, The following article explains it better http://hillelcoren.com/2009/09/17/import-export-copy-paste-flex-datagrid/
In Flex 3, in order to upload a file you need a small script on the server (in Flex 4/Flash 10 the client is able to handle this locally). Included in the source you’ll find two PHP files: csvImport.php and csvExport.php. To support exporting the data from the DataGrid I’m leveraging a nice algorithm written by Sasa Radovanovic <http://www.saskovic.com/blog/> explained in this post <http://www.saskovic.com/blog/?p=3>. This solution is meant to work with plain text csv and tsv files, if you need to support Excel (.xls) files I’d recommend checking out as3xls<http://code.google.com/p/as3xls/> .
