Adobe Flex / Air

Has anyone used Adobe Flex and/or Air to build GUI's connected to VW?  
Specifically, has anyone looked at how to integrate VW with Flex Data  
Services to push updates to the  Flex application?

Thanks,

Mike

We're currently looking at using flex. Since Flex Data Services is a
client/server solution with Java (or, I believe, coldfusion) at the
server side using FDS is not an option right now for VisualWorks
users. We are using the HTTPService and XML for data interchange
between the Flex client and Visualworks. I'm interested if other
people have come up with different solutions.

Use the XML input-output. You can use simple HTTP request and response
to recieve and send XML data. Webservices too should work. I am not
sure but I did do a hack to have it working for one of my own internal
trial runs.. but its easy and really cool.. though Adobe Flex is
another millstone.. of XML UI elements to cover..

If essential I can go back to dig out and send you a sample implementation.
