Flash demonstration prototype

I need someone who knows how to make Flash applications. You need to be willing to explain a few things to me over chat about how Flash works and what is possible. One of the things i want to see is a small prototype Flash window that continuously updates with information retrieved from a server. Preferably by retrieving info from a MySQL database. If that is not possible then by some other method that allows for the same resulting functionality. One example i've seen on the net is the Tennis scoreboard by the ATP: [login to view URL];wkno=6&lang=en&tabno=1&ref=[login to view URL] ( which i believe to be Flash, correct me if i'm wrong ) Ultimately i will most likely want something like that, but for now i just want to know how it's done, so the explaining is probably more important than the actual demo. ( i am a Java developer myself so the explanation can be directly technical ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I would be interested in hearing about alternative methods to get something similar to that scoreboard but only if you are willing to explain and demonstrate a prototype without any initial costs. If i ask for a specific prototype then i will pay for that. p.s. i have no urgency with this, plenty of time.
