Hi All - Hope someone can help.

I am creating a stand alone catalogue which has mainly been built using
Director but with buttons and some animation created in Flash. I'm a complete
novice to all this so please bear with me and apologies if I have posted this
in the wrong section.

I have seen an existing catalogue which I believe has been created using Flash
in which when you click a button it launches an Excel spreadsheet in Excel. I
need to do the same thing with my project. I can get Director to open the Excel
file as long as both are in the same location however I have been asked to
effectively embed the spreadsheet into the final projector so there is only one
file to download. I can't find any way to do this with Director and was
therefore wondering can this be done with Flash like the file I've already
seen? I would then import the Flash movie into Director.

Any help would be much appreciated as the deadline is looming!
