It is very possible, but the methods are myriad. It depends upon what
kind of server or webservice you need to connect to, and the version
of Flash you are using.
If your needs are simple and you're using Flash v6 - 8, you can use
the LoadVars class to get and send string data.
If your needs are complex you may want to investigate using Flash 9 &
ActionScript 3 or Flex 2, which offers sophisticated data UI
components and handling. I personally recommend looking into AMFPHP
( http://amfphp.sourceforge.net/ ), which is free and provides a
great mechanism for interfacing Flash with PHP & MySQL.

Thanks for any insights...
