How often are you talking about polling? And
how many clients?
I just built an app that uses both
XMLSockets and polling.
The polling works fine, using setInterval
to invoke it. I have a hundred clients each polling every 2 minutes. The
server doesn’t even think about breathing hard under that load.
I am still fighting security issues with
the socket functionality. The client side code is pretty simple. I am using
.NET for the socket server. There are many examples available out there.

I am not sure, if Flash Player can listen on particular socket. But what you
can do is to start a session from Flash Player, then you can push data to
player from server...

Yes.. I'm leaning towards this approach UNLESS I find out that it's possible t
o run an HTTPService polling loop as a thread separate from the AS execution
thread.... I sent a message back to Ted Patrick on flexcoders about it...
I'll check out your client
Thanks a lot!!!!

You can do p2p apps in Flash Player...two flash player cant communicate over
socket, I think that would be a cool feature but security concerns :)
BTW! I wrote a HTTP client, dirty code actually..check out on my blog: http://www.abdulqabiz.com/blog/archives/flash_and_actionscript/http_authentica.php

Yikes! I forgot there are no threads in Flex! so a polling/listening
loop won't work ... I would have to have a timer to poll periodically ... no so
pretty ...

Hey, does anyone have an idea how to build an HTTP (or socket) client + server
inside a Flex app?
I could use HTTPService for the client stuff but in my scenario I need to allow
the Flex app to both send requests as well as receive them, so HTTPService is
only half of the solution.. unless I'm missing something.
I could use FES pub-sub to push data to the Flex app (and HTTPService to pull
data/make calls on demand) but I can't do that because of the additional cost
of the FES deployment license (given that in
my scenario the service would have to run on the user's desktop.) And I
definitely want to avoid having to periodically poll for data from the Flex
app.
I believe that it can be done but that I would have to spend a good amount of
time experimenting with it.. However, it seems like a common need so I'd like
to find out if anyone has done it before?
Thanks
