I think I asked this question before but my searches for my messages come up empty (search in this forum is awful).
I have a Flex application that I need to do polling. Because of the implementation/install of our app I cannot use any push technology. So my solution, which I am not sure will work, is to create a timer on my the main stage that every 3 minutes tell the app to it needs to make another httpservice call. My question is can this be done or if I create a timer that loops forever will I get a Timeout error "script has been running blah blah or what ever the time error says"? Or I could create a timer and have it run and when it sends out a request create a new timer and kill/delete/remove the last timer? Any other way to accomplish this?
