FLUSH will write data already committed to the file but possibly held in local storage; it will not do a TABLEUPDATE() or END TRANACTION to commit data held in buffers. You still have to TABLEUPDATE() on each view/table, and END TRANSACTION on any pending transactions, before FLUSH can force the physical write to take place.
