I’d agree with you. Actually more problems rise when the timeouts are set programmatically. The lack of a built in functionality discourages more than helps to use SWFAddress.

There is a timer inside the JavaScript part of SWFAddress which listens for changes of the address. It’s used in Firefox, Safari and Opera but Internet Explorer doesn’t require it. Soon all these browsers will implement a new HTML5 feature that will allow us to skip this interval checks completely.

The ActionScript part of SWFAddress receives notifications using ExternalInterface and does not constantly listen for changes.

And than how the Flex app knows about changes in the uri? The SWFAddress is listening about this kind of changes by running the uri parsing function every N milliseconds. That is done with a timer, of course with given timeout.

Communication using SWFAddress is appropriate only if the application requires deep linking. It doesn’t require any timeouts on the Flex side since there is an event dispatched on each address change.
