What exactly is the adobe LiveCycle Data Services product? What advantages does it give a Flex 3 Developer? Is it necessary to implement if one is thinking of developing a robust RIA? Our team is currently working in the Flash CS3 environment, but is seriously considering a migration to the latest installment of Flex. If data steaming is a concern, would we be able to get away with something like Red5 as a viable solution?

Any thoughts or suggestions on would be most appreciated! Cheers!
