Since this is my first post on the forum, I'll try to be as clear as possible, and hope to receive any usefull feedback.

I have to create a backend (which is displayed to customers once logged in) preferably using Flex. Which is able to generate an swf or avi video. The ultimate goal is that by selecting (by the user) components like back ground, text colour, animations etc.. an swf or avi video is generated and automatically stored somewhere.

I am not really familiar with the possiblities of Flex, but I am assuming Flex has been opted since it is able to work with both flash and databases?

I will have all selectable items at my disposal in whatever database i prefer, so it's a simply a task of displaying those items, selecting them and generating the selected outcome.

I have no clue where to start if it comes down to Flex (I have just started running through the Lynda.com videos, I have only worked with Flash & AS 2), so any clues or links pointing me in the right direction accomplishing this task are highly appreciated and most welcome.

PS: maybe flex isn't even required what so ever, and is this completely doable in Flash with actionscript, in that case, any input on how to work with databases in Flash/AS is welcome...
