Realtime Stock list

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I plan to build a stock list display interface. I think Flex
can help me do this. Any advice ?

The question is too vague, IMO :) I'll try though. Yes, flex
can help you show a stock list.



Where is the data coming from? From a HTTP interface? A web
service? You'll need to look into HttpService and WebService
classes respectively on how to get data.



How do you want to display this data? As a list? Maybe you
want to look into DataGrid or other list based components.



Do you want/need to show trends? Flex Charting is what would
help you chart these trends?



Or are you looking for some other info?

Thanks for your quick answer.

The data will be sent as a plain text file. I think I will
convert this into an xml format. So maybe datagrid would help. What
do I have to do to make the grid shows changes in real time ?

You're speaking good English! Don't worry!



Please look into Timer class on how to poll your data source
periodically to get the data. Showing it would be same as first
time.

Take a look at LCDS's messaging service where by you can
subscribe to a JMS

destination with a mx.messaging.Consumer and push results in
real time to

your Flex application.
