Hmm, if you need a real-time stream rather than polling and
have the means to install FCS (e.g. you're allowed to open a
port on your server), you might can hold a socket connection
open via XMLSocket and sending periodic refreshes with null
bytes to trigger the onData event handler in Flash. Remoting
can be tweaked to hold the connection open, though XMLSockets
might be an easier way to have a persistent connection to a
server over which to periodically transport data packets.
One possible way to do this via server-side scripting is
via mod_pubsub, which has stable and well-supported versions
in both Perl and Python. Also, Flash's null byte packet
terminators are completely supported.
