Depends on what you want to do. € Look at the TableMaker Xtra ($245 per platform) See: http://www.xtramedia.com/TableMaker.html
€ If you want a fully featured spreadsheet with formulas etc you can use an ActiveX control, but this is Windows only Otherwise - if you just need to display the data - possibly with editability: € Read this Spreadsheet Lingo artice by Pat McClellan on DOUG This approach uses a grids of editable fields. Every field uses a sprite channel, so is probably only useful for a fixed amount of data. See: http://www.director-online.com/accessArticle.cfm?ID=883 € If your HTML is good you can create the HTML for a text member on-the-fly to display the data in a HTML table - this takes one sprite and can even be editable. See: http://www.lingoworkshop.com/testzone/Spreadsheet.htm http://www.director-online.com/accessArticle.cfm?ID=816 € There is the Table Xtra from Electronic Ink ($300 x-platform) See: http://www.printomatic.com/products.cfm Most of these methods assume that you already have the data in Director, or rely using delimited text for import. If you want to import XLS files, that is another story.
