Generating .swf files at runtime sounds like a terrible security nightmare waiting to happen.
A better solution might be to create an empty .swf file which expects data from a fixed data source such as a text file which also gets embedded into the .ppt (not sure if this might be possible, but hear me out) and picking up data from it at runtime. Alternatively, it might be possible to pass data to the ActiveX through the use of the FlashVars property. If none of these methods work and you have to fall back on creating .swf files at runtime, the specifications are open if you want to roll your own, or you can use the Flex compiler and its associated Ant task to do the job for you. To make things easier, make sure that you don't generate code at runtime. Extract data from the data source and save it into plain text or XML. Embed this into the .swf while compiling it. .p On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 4:48 PM, prasad AWARE <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm embeding a chart (.swf) in webpage which reads data from an database by > using webservice and draw the chart.
