need help .
regards
What are you trying to reach?
Do need to display MS Office Documents inside of a Flex application?
Do you want to edit MS Office Documents?
In case you want to display them, why not stick to PDFs?
For he SWF way, I found this solution, but never used it myself:

Additionally, Adobe Cookbook has a bunch of threads:

In asp.net web application, I have implemented export to Excel feature, here for few of the row values I need to show text in excel with the font attributes i.e. Render HTML.
If i use xls format then this works perfectly fine but when i use xlsx as the file type then HTML is not rendered while data is exported in excel, however the HTML tags are displayed as it is in exported excel file.
To resolve this one of the suggestion i recieved is use VSTO architecture & design. But when i researched on this it looks irrelevant to me.. VSTO is for adding plugin in Microsoft Office tools and not for something to be worked in web application.
Can someone please guide me with VSTO APIS for this functionality and also if there is any other option available to solve this?
Excel Interop and therefore VSTO is not supported for server-side applications such as asp.net.
Consider using a 3rd party product such as Aspose or Epplus.
What I understood is you are trying to automate Excel on your server.
Try using Open XML SDK

I am working on a website that is English by default and optionally in Spanish. I am generating local resource files for each page with language appropriate content for various items.
So far to create my pair of resource files (default and Spanish) for each page, visual studio 2010 generates the first file like default.aspx.resx. I create the Spanish version manually by copying the default file and renaming to default.aspx.es.resx.
Is there a way to have visual studio generate both files for me? I can generate the default file, add controls to the page, and generate again and visual studio is smart to not blow away any work I've done in that file. I would like to be able to also update the Spanish resource file automatically.
There is no tool in Visual Studio (at least I haven't found one when researching the same request), and we dropped the idea of writing smart macros for that purpose that parse resx files and modify other based on changes.
There is, however, a decent free tool that supports creating and aligning resources: Zeta Resource Editor.
You can add files and entries on click, and editing resources is much nicer than in Visual Studio, in addition to quite a few other useful features.
I use Qt Assistant as a help viewer and I have an internal link to a PDF file that is embedded into the compiled archive format. When I click on that link, nothing happens. How can I link to a PDF file that is embedded, click on the link and have an external application opened? I use Qt Assistant 4.7.3.
Short of bundling a program like Okular into your application release and launching it as an external process there isn't a native way of arriving at your solution. More options are discussed here as well, to sum it up it's either externally or converting the PDF to a QPixmap.
I don't think that this can work. To display a pdf file you need Acrobat or a similar (external) program, and this program needs a file to read. Why don't you store the pdf files outside the help file?
Hi I have an application in flash, I build in ActionScript 3.0 Flash IDE, my application loads some external swfs which mentioned via XML file. Its working fine at the moment. But I need to compile all these external SWFs and xml file into single exe file. How can I compile like this. or how can I code like this?
EDIT: 1
from here : http://page-flip.com/products/pdf-publisher/
You can see an example, the application is build in .net and it import pdf and publish it as flash projector or web based(swf). How is it compiling all the external SWF files.
If you have Flash CS4 you can make use of the mxmlc compiler which has some additional tricks up it's sleeve.
Using the embed tag like this will allow you to embed an entire swf "inside" your swf:
[Embed(source = '../assets/items/9.swf')] public static const ITEM_9:Class;
Then, to instantiate it you simply go:
var mySprite:Sprite = new ITEM_9() as Sprite;
Using this and some clever overloading of your current classes for external loading should allow you to get a single swf (xml files can be embedded in a similar fashion).
Then it's just a matter of using the Publish settings to make Flash spit out an .exe
On an unrelated note, please go back and accept some answers to your questions. It's not very nice not to.
You can try mdm Zinc.
Zinc is really powerful. It lets you package your Flash or Flex in different ways, with lots of native platform hooks.
you can build an AIR application. if you don`t want it to be cross platform, you can build an AIR application with a windows native installer.
Flash > File > Project settings > Windows Projector.
For MAC, choose a MAC projector.
If you are burning to a disc and you need both platforms to work...a good option is to use Toast (if you are on a MAC)...it will hide the files you don't need the user to see, and also hide windows files from MACs and vice versa.
There is an application for Windows called SWFKit, which allows you to package your SWF and external files into one exe file. I had the same problem as you, and this worked a treat for me. Unfortunately you do need to pay for it :( http://www.swfkit.com
Hope this helps,
Will
I would go about it with these steps
create a flex application
embed all of the SWF's and the XML into that application
create a release of the application you just created
open the SWF application with the stand-alone flash player and not with the browser
from the file menu select the option create projector
All of this will result a single EXE file that contains all of the SWF's and the XML file.
You can use a projector or make an windows only AIR project.
Use flajector and forget about your problems
I'm trying to display an .swf file (with an accompanying .flv file) using SWF Tools, which I understand is possible.
So far, I have:
Created the field "video".
Enabled the SWF Tools module (version 6.25).
At this point, I'm really stuck. I created a block in Views, but it only displays an anchor link to the .swf file. I've read "Installing SWF Tools" (http://drupal.org/node/303203) but don't really understand it.
I'm hoping for some simple directions so I can get this finished and move on.
You need to enable the swf tools filter for your input format.
