    excel.xls > php file parsed to flash

    My Flash file is a GameCenter where team standings are kept.. I have it set up right now with the master spreadsheet programmed that is linked to a dummy sheet that is saved as a CVS doc and loaded into my flash document. it is working great; but, there has got to be an easier way to do this- at some point I will not be the one doing the editing/ updating; so, I need this process streamlined.

    Ideally I am looking for someone to update the Excel spreadsheet > FTP it > and have the info updated - reflected in the Flash MC on the website.I have googled and I from reading I know it is possible to take t he XLS > to a PHP file and parse it to Flash.


    I initially had it parsing a TXT file--- too many step's... and then I switched to a CSV file a llittle better; but, still too many step's in my opinion... please help...

    My website is treybraids-designs.com > and then choose GameCenter > then either Pioneers or Wranglers > then standings and you will see what I am talking about...

    Thanks

    Why note make a small db (database) that holds the teams info. Use php to update the info. It will be live and update all the time and the security would be better.
