Just a little to help you get on track.
phpMyAdmin is not really a database, it is the front-end application to
administer the database. Check with your site host to determine what
actual database you have or when you log into the phpMyAdmin, it should
tell you what database it is for.
It probably is for a mySQL database, this seems to be the most common
and in my opinion the easiest to use.
Flash does not directly connect to a mySql database as far as I know, so
you will need to set up a back-end page to pull the data you want and
format it as a variable=data output and then have flash load the
variables from that page. Or better yet have the page formatted in an
XML doc and have flash load it into an XML object and then you can
manipulate it as you please in one big chunk.
This may seem like a great deal of work, but it is fairly simple. I
don't have time right now to detail it out, but I am sure by the time I
get off work on of the flash pros will chime in and help.
Don't give up.
