Sorry for this late reaction. I've done some tests with ColdFusion 7 and their new event gateways.
I modified an existing Java socket server to be an event gateway type. This enabled me to be able to push data from ColdFusion to all connected Flash clients. In Flash I used XMLSocket. I don't know what kind of server side software u are using, but the combination of a socketserver and some server side logic can do the trick. The cutback of this is that messages can only be send as string. Offcourse u can send xml for complex data, but then u still have problems with numbers and booleans. Its however fairly easy to create a serializer / deserializer to send complex data as string and still keep certain types. I hope this information helps u in your quest.

Thats seems to cover the needs for developing chat-like applications... Now, imagine I have an external "Notification server" (yukon notification server, or whatever) And I want FCS to listen *persistently* to this server. With FCS and Remoting I know how to POLL a database "1 time or every 10 seconds" and format that answer to feed the FCS but HOW can I create a persistent link to a notification server,socket server or similar, get the data this server is pushing, format this data and pass it to the FCS? So basically, I want to know how to replace POLLING with PERSISTENT LISTENING. Example application: A Flex application that shows the queue of a call center. When a new call arrives, it is shown in every client running the application. And it is the call center notification server that tells the FCS it has received the new call and NOT the FCS that polls the queue of the notification server to see if there is any new call pending.
