Salutations!

I created a simple web application. At one point it gives the option of sending the user to another page to alter some preferences not accessible to my application. I would like to communicate those changes back to my flash application if possible. Is there a way for php to send an event or interrupt or something to indicate that new information is available? Or am I limited to polling every so often in actionscript (using sendAndLoad or loadXML, etc)?

Thanks so much in advance!
