The StreamingAMFChannel class provides support for messaging and offers a different push model than the base AMFChannel. Rather than polling for data from the server, the streaming channel opens an internal HTTP connection to the server that is held open to allow the server to stream data down to the client with no poll overhead.

Messages sent by this channel to the server are sent using a NetConnection which uses an HTTP connection internally for the duration of the operation. Once the message is sent and an acknowledgement or fault is returned the HTTP connection used by NetConnection is released by the channel. These client-to-server messages are not sent over the streaming HTTP connection that the channel holds open to receive server pushed data.

Although this class extends the base AMFChannel to inherit the regular AMF handling, it does not support polling.
