for Flash Professional 2004, but also includes some stuff for non-pro users.
You might want to skip ahead to Chapter 8 "Connecting to Servers with Flash
Remoting". That chapter goes over data binding and lots of advanced Flash
remoting concepts. Also relevant to what you are doing (probably) is
Chapter 10 "Flash and Sessions".

Thanks Cameron
I ordered the hard copy, but have been reading it online at O'Reilly
Safari bookshelf.
Very well done, but a little out of date (Pre Flash MX 2004 &
Professional)
I am on chapter 4 and haven't found anything yet (that I understand
well enough) to satisfy my need.
What I need is kinda' like a Ticker -- but it's not!
Or, kinda like a Chat -- but it's not!
What I want is kinda' like a streaming client but, unlike a Ticker,
the stage (grid) never moves-- only the values and colors of the cells
will change.
Unlike a chat, as soon as I get a packet of changes from the server, I
want to request another, before processing this one-- no artificial
delays to minimize traffic -- to the contrary, I want the client to
request and consume data as often as it can.
I currently am using 2 different streamer-fed client apps provided by a
3rd party. One is a Java applet, the other is a windows-only native
app.
Surprisingly, my own CFMX/HTML combination outperforms both. They look
like they are performing faster/better and update cells more often but
the data is less current
During peak hours, these "streamer" apps will get behind 5-10 minutes
I could rewrite my CFMX/HTML app to use DHTML and/or hidden frames to
improve performance and provide a better UI.
But Flash remoting seems to offer much better efficiency, UI, etc.
