		<description><![CDATA[As you may know Adobe has released on its open-source web site the first nightly builds of Flex 4 aka Gumbo release. You can download them <a href="http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4">here</a>. If you want to give it a try, go ahead, but carefully read the instructions and be cautious as these are very early builds.

One of the nice thing that Adobe has already introduced in these early builds is the <a href="http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Gumbo+Component+Architecture">FXG</a> extension to MXML that allows you to define in MXML the graphical representation of an object instead of relying on external (SWF, rasters...) assets or on programmatic ActionScript drawings. This is pretty handy because in a few lines of FXG you are able to draw something that would have required much less flexible code to be written in Flex 3.

I couldn't resist to give it a try, and defining the graphical representation of an <a href="http://elixir.ilog.com">ILOG Elixir</a> Gauge using Gumbo FXG.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While Web applications, such as Flex applications, usually read data coming from the server in a predefined form and thus do not necessarily need to read third party data formats (the server has digested them). Desktop applications, on the contrary, usually require the ability to read data from such sources. 

This is especially true when it comes to data visualization applications where the end-user might want to, for example, import its data from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and display them into a data grid or charting control.

The objective of this post is to see how your AIR (or Flex) data visualization application can read a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and display its result.
