Basically, since flash runs in the user's browser, you do not connect directly to a database from flash. Instead your flash application contacts a server endpoint (written in a server side scripting language, such as php) which fetches the data from the database and serves it to your flash application. Check out this video tutorial. It might help you: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/brimelow_lee/php_mysql/video-tutorial

Check this short video out for a brief overview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRi-oxjFfCU In order to do anything of the sorts you should at least have some basic PHP, MySQL and ActionScript skills.

Google: Flash+MySQL it isn't hard. If you have specific questions please ask.
