Thanks michael, Excel integration right now is way too much for what I need.
I did however, come up with a hack job to get what I needed done. What I've got now is I put a field in a database called tag in a table I hold user info. If another application needs to hit the flex and send it to a different current state and run other stuff, then I have the initial application fill in this field. When my flex app runs it calls an HTTPService to see if this field is filled or not. If it is, then it does a bunch of things and presto, into the data. Otherwise, the main state runs. This will work for me as I'm grabbing the user's login via the aspx xml page I'm hitting with the HTTPService. I know it ain't pretty, but it does work so what the user doesn't know, doesn't hurt them. I would like to hear other ideas to see if there is anything better than this. --- In [email protected], "michael_ramirez44" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Aaron, > > The guys over at Farat Systems have Flex and Excel talking. > http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/?p=85 > > Michael Ramirez > > --- In [email protected], "meathead" <makacos@> wrote: > > > > I don't know where to even start to look for this solution.
