do you mean to extract data ???

I would think that you’d probably have to set up a dataBase in mySQL, Import your excel into that… and then could pull the stuff in via PHP into Flash

…but that’s just my wild guess…

[\>\>\>This may lead you to more Info\<\<\<](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/ole_insertobject01.htm)

…the guy on that thread was looking for cdRom/projector application but it may be a (lead-to) solution for you as well if you don’t need to call for your excel bit dynamically

O~wise the Dbase approach w/PHP may be the way and bring entries into dynamic text fields
