flash data integration:
Hello everyone:

Here is my problem:

I need to display an .asp file from flash that converts some data from an
MSSQL Server Database (on the web) to an Excel table.

The .asp file uses the MIME Code:
[b]Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"[/b]

This .asp works fine, but when I try to access the file from a Flash
Application using [b]loadVariables("myasp.asp", this);[/b], it does not do
anything.

Is there any other way to access this file from flash?, and if there is, what
am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance

Gabriel

The Flash http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00001741.html requires
the MIME format application/x-www-form-urlencoded (a standard format used by
CGI scripts).

This is also true of the more current
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002323.html/L] class.

The other data connectivity Flash performs is with
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002862.html and
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002906.html.

So you may need to create a web server side application that exports the XCell
data to the above formats.

Oh well, I will try to import the information as an XML file :)
