Connecting Flash to a database

Been searching the web and reading up on how to connect Flash to a database. The good news is that there is loads of good examples and snippets of code scattered around the internet to help me on my way. So far I've been reading up on the following links.

I'm also planning to book Liz (Programming lecturer) for a chat in the near future to see if she can give me some advice on the best way to do it.

An Interactive kiosk is a computer terminal that provides information access via electronic methods. Interactive kiosks sometimes resemble telephone booths, but can also be used while sitting on a bench or chair. Interactive kiosks are typically placed in high foot traffic settings such as hotel lobbies or airports.

Integration of technology allows kiosks to perform a wide range of functions, evolving into self-service kiosks. For example, kiosks may enable users to enter a public utility bill account number in order to perform an online transaction, or collect cash in exchange for merchandise. Customised components such as coin hoppers, bill acceptors, card readers and thermal printers enable kiosks to meet the owner's specialised needs.
