Connection of excel to Adobe Animate

[Lena236791045dc6]

Hi, I am working on a visualization project that has to be scientificly accurate. This is why I need to implement an Excel file into my adobe animate cc visualization.

Is there a possibility to implement an excel file?

Worst case, I could link a button to download the excel file and the students can work directly with the downloaded file.

I appreciate all comments and hints 🙂

Hi.

Can you provide more details? Do you want an AS3 or HTML5 Canvas application to read Excel file/data or do you want to somehow integrate the IDE of Animate with Excel?

Please let us know.

Regards,

JC

Hi

Thank you for your reply. Sure, I build my application with an html5 Canvas. 

The ideal outcome would be an integrated excel sheet on my html5 page.

Best,

Lena

Thanks for the info.

If you want to read an actual XLS or XLSX, you're gonna need an external library for this. This Fiddle has an example of how to do this.

But if you can export your Excel sheets as CSV, for example, you can load the data using XMLHTTPRequest or the Fetch API.

The second approach (CSV) is certainly eaiser.

What do you think?

"Implement" and "integrate" are uselessly vague. What exactly do you want to be able to do with the Excel spreadsheets? Import them? View them? Visualize them? Edit them?
