It's going to be hard to do this (if possible at all) without bouncing the file off the server. You can only browse the file system using FileReference which uploads a file to the server. Additionally, to get data into a flex movie 99% of the methods have to go through some sort of networking protocol so if you wanted a local file then that client computer would have to be able to serve the file as a server itself.
Your only other option is, to use LocalConnection to communicate with a Java\ActiveX object in the wrapper that can select a file and pass it to the flex movie. If you can get the excel file loaded into this other object you should be able to convert it into a tab delimited string and pass it to the flex movie. Probably not the answer you were hoping for but at least you'll know what your options are. - Dan Freiman On 27 Mar 2007 05:56:50 -0700, Pay Hub <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi All, For our enterprise application, there is one requirement. I want to import an Excel file and parse it in the Flex itself, without interacting with the server. Please anyone of you help me to do this. Looking forward your response. Regards Abdul Hadhi
