This implies using Coldfusion, right?
Data push has been possible with Flash since AS1 and Flash 6, using XML sockets. All you need is an XML server, which can be in any language (PHP, perl, java, etc.) not just Coldfusion. (and you can pass any text data: it doesn't actually have to be XML; AS3/Flash 9 allow the passing of binary data.) (BTW, the answer to your original question about a framework may depend on what server-side language you are using.)
