Hey Zeek,  
I do not know much about Flash and databases, but you could use Macromedia Generator to dynamically change content in Flash by using data from a database, text file, etc. I’m not sure, but I think Flash 5’s XML features could be used to connect to a database as well.

I was not able to find many tutorials regarding databases and flash. Here is the link to FlashKit’s two tutorials regarding databases: [www.flashkit.com/cgi-bin/…y=database](http://www.flashkit.com/cgi-bin/tutorials/search.cgi?query=database)
