HELP! Data integration

Hello All, hope you can help me a little.

I want to create a flash page what will constantly loop a MYSQL database, displaying text from one of the fields…i need it to loop constantly so that when a new item is added, it shows on screen (when the loop reaches the end)

How hard is this to do? Does anyone know where I can find some starter code or tutorials?
Or does anyone care to explain it to me?

Thanks in advance,
Nick
