I'm quite sure that direct port access is out of the question, but you could build a small service that reads that data and outputs it as a realtime XML server locally. That way you could get live updates and not worry about delay.

(RS232 - 9pin cable) I couldn't find any example/API and not very hopeful but Java has it why not AIR? I have an embedded HW and the instructor requires a good looking GUI, so I want to do the GUI with AIR, if I can. >From internet searchs, people suggest to write a C code to read data and export to a file from which Flex will read, but considering 5ms precision will not be possible in this way. I can do this with pipes of linux, but is there a way to pipe an AIR application with an executable in linux ? Any help/suggestion is welcome, thanks yigit
