Need help with user login, database, and shopping cart

Hello,

I am fairly new to flash and have the Flash MX 2004 Pro. I am creating a
website in Flash, and I need to know if the following is possible, and also how
do you suggest that I should do it, where to find good info, books, or perhaps
existing templates:

1. A user login interface that will also allow for new users to create a user
id and password.
2. A shopping cart that will reflect a logged in users previous purchases and
current selections. This shopping cart needs to prompt for login if user has
not done so.
3. A MS Access 2000 or more recent database to store the user data, as well as
the product data. How do I set Flash to pull data from the database?
4. A search capability that will allow the user to search over the databse to
display the corresponding web page.

Finally, if I need more than Flash MX 2004, such as Dreamweaver or Cold
Fusion, please let me know.

Thanks so much,
