OK, I got one for ya:
I have a client who want to be able to update a spreadsheet in Excel on
an ongoing basis, and have that file be the dynamically-loaded source
for a Flash Datagrid embedded in Director -- or something functionally
and aesthetically equivalent. I'm open to suggestion, such as an
Xtra...? (must be cross-platform, though...)
Once in Director, they want to be able to sort records by the column
header they click on, and open a related document when they click on a
row (i.e., record) -- probably another Flash module that receives a
unique key from the clicked-upon datagrid record (I can take it from
there once I get the message across).
I know Lingo really well and enough actionscript to be dangerous, but
I've never used the data grid before -- and this has to be done by this
weekend. LOL.
Any help, pointers, code, demos, URLs, etc., deeply appreciated.
I'm on a Mac running Tiger and Director/Flash MX 2004.
best,
FBC
