I'd like to create a module that is powered by Flash. Flash would need access to certain data from the database. What would you guys recommend for integrating the Drupal backend into flash? Would the first step be to create a SOAP module or something? Thanks.

Thanks but that article
Thanks but that article applies to Macromedia Flex.
Macromedia Flex is what
Macromedia Flex is what developers can use to build Flash based applications. Flash is what designers use to build Flash animations.
Check out http://labs.macromedia.com for more information. Flex Builder 2 allows you to build Flash UI inside of Eclipse.

Macromedia Flash is commonly
Macromedia Flash is commonly used for building rich internet applications like the one I am now working on--not just animations. Flex is a new server technology for the enterprise level.
From the Macromedia Website:
"Please take a moment to ensure that Macromedia Flex is a good fit for your project, infrastructure, and team.
The Flex presentation server is designed to help enterprise development teams deliver solutions in scenarios where traditional page-based HTML applications often fail. Examples include online product selection, e-commerce checkout, visual data dashboards, or business process automation applications (ie: order processing, etc.) that streamline operations."
