ASP can talk to excel backends.... if you can return

variables (data) from excel via ASP, you can send that

same data to a Flash movie.  Then, you can have the

user enter the "chunk" and send that data via flash to

ASP to be divided and returned again to the flash

movie for display.


So yes, it's possible with something in between flash

and excel, like ASP.
