RE: [flexcoders] Excel, Flex & Database

[Lance Linder]

Darron, thanks for the links to these examples! It is great to see some work done to import .xls files.   Is there any more recent work on this or source to go with these examples? I would like to play around with this idea and any source code would be greatly appreciated!   Thanks, Lance   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Darron J.

However, it's not easy. You have to write a custom parser for the .xls file format. You can pull the raw binary data in via URLLoader setting it's dataFormat to DataFormat.BINARY, and then parse the .xls data into something usable for the Flex client. See Jim Cheng's discussion on it here: http://www.psalterego.com/2006/05/17/parsing-excel-files-with-actionscript-30/ Simple demo here: http://dev.psalterego.com/xls/ExcelParser.html -d Ritesh Jariwala wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > I have question regarding application development. > > > > I need to develop little application which can load data from database > using flex into Microsoft Excel. > > > > Is it possible that flex can load the excel data or suppose if I made > changes in excel sheet and click on save it can save data into > database using flex? > > > > I know, I already seen such video when fabridge introduced, I am not > able to find the link of that video and examples. > > > > Can anyone tell me whether this is possible or not with flex? > > > > > > With Regards, > > > > Ritesh Jariwala (Actkid) > > Freelance Developer > > www.actkid.com <http://www.actkid.com> > > Company: www.synonymic.com <http://www.synonymic.com> > > > > > > __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
