I’ve created a file in flash which uses spreadsheets created in Microsoft excel. Is there any way I can load these dynamicaly instead of cutting and pasting? any help would be apreciated!!! :mario: ---

the only other way i know would be to convert the excel file to an xml document (see [this](http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=2300)) and then parse that document in flash 🙂 ---

oh dear! I really dont understand that, VB isn’t one of my strongest languages, could you maybe dumb it down a little? (into homer simpson language?haha!!) or even just give me some tip on it? cheers ASH:thumb: ---

\I haven’t done that before, and to be honest, I don’t quite get how would that work, all i know is that flash can parse and xml document, and excel spreadsheet can be converted somehow to an xml using a plug-in of some sort ☹ sorry, that’s all i can do…\ \*\*\* edit \*\*\* nevermind… what excel version are you on? ---

That article is old. In the XP version of excel, you can save a spreadsheet as an xml document (file \> save as \> XML Spreadsheet (\*.xml))… I’m not quite sure about 2000… do you have it? 🙂 ---
