displauying info from outside files other than txt files...

[iconboy]

im making a flash site for a computer company and they need to update their inventory everyday. So i thought.. Ill make a flash site that gets info from an outside source that way only the outside source has to be update... but because of messed up formatting in txt files i was wondering if there was anyway to display info from an excel file with cells?

because when i do a txt file there are spaces where id ont want and nothing is uniform... also cant get a scroll bar working with it !! :(

Nope... Either you create your own tool that will read the external data file and somehow make it better readable/editable or teach them how to actually read the content from that format... Usually it is easier to create a tool for it... :)
