Using live data from Blaze DS in a swf file

I currently have a c++ client which can play SWF, AVI, BIK etc It uses DirectX9 to render the graphics

I currently have a requirement for dynamic SWF files, which would retrieve data from a BlazeDS server and put certain text in certain places depending on the retrieved data

From what I have read, BlazeDS talks to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR applications

Would that mean I would have to convert my current c++ client into a Flex application

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I'm just having trouble trying to figure out how Blaze and Flex and Air all fit together

It's a litte unclear what you're asking, so let me have a crack:

Assuming that you have a c++ runtime that you want to communicate with BlazeDS, you could write a c++ implementation of the AMF protocol.

The protocol itself is open source, and there may even be c++ implementations of it out there already.

I assume from your question that the client that is rendering the SWF is not the flash player. If this is the case, switching your c++ app to Flex won't win you anything, as Flex itself doesn't know how to handle AMF -- the serialization process is handled by the flash player, rather than the flex framework.
