I am working on a similar problem... I don't use PostGres, but there may be some sort of export to XML function. *If* that can fire on changes ( or you set up the inserts/updates that way), then you have something that an httpservice can acquire directly. But somebody still has to ask the file if it changed... unless You use a socket connection to stuff an event into the dataprovider. Theres some examples in the adobe docs. or you poll, but don't refresh the whole html page, just the data in the swf, and only when it changes. My users cant tell the difference between polling and the socket connection in the two demos I made.
I'm just a newbie, so if there is another way, I'd sure like to hear about it.
