Re: [flexcoders] Excel, Flex & Database

[Phil Marston]

That's cool - does anyone know if this has been (is being) done for other MSOffice formats (namely PowerPoint and Word)? Cheers, Phil Darron J.

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?
