[flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 - data push
I guess it doesn't exist, then. Here's an example of the real-time feature I am seeking: I created the app and am connected w/ my mysql database. I open two browsers and changes made in browser 1 appear in browser 2. So far, so good. However, if I bypass the flex app completely and make a change on the database or add a new record it won't show up until I refresh the flex app, which is not acceptable for any production environment. I have to hand it to the adobe evangelists for being able to point out the good features of flex lcds and completely ignore reality as many databases don't get populated via the front-end UI. I guess I'll have to wait until flex 5 and lcds 4 for this feature to be implemented. For now, it seems we wasted development time and $ on LCDS flex. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, fgnowfg fgno...@... wrote: Does anyone know of a tutorial for data push in flex 4?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 - data push
I should point out I am using lcds and flex 4. I've seen a couple examples of doing this in flex 3 but something I read said flex 4's data push is diff. than flex 3's, hence my question. thx

Seems more and more a waste of time for us without this key point resolved. That's ridiculous. I think if advertising is a priority, you could let flex have part of the html page and serve ads there, either under control of the flex application, using javascript, or just independently with javascript, with or without an iframe. I think a bit of imagination is required. I think most flex developers make money from things that are useful for something rather than advertising bling.

I need the ad to be targeted but all I want the user to see is the flex application and the ad...to get targeted ads I would need to put some hidden (from the viewpoint of the user) text on the page, which most likely violates Adsense TOS.

It seems like Adobe is just shooting themselves in the foot the longer they wait to easily incorporate a way for developers (or, ultimately whoever ends up owning the website) to generate revenue w/ flex. The more I think about it, the more it just seems like flex is a complete waste of time until they get this resolved.
