swfc is a script language to build swfs.

You'd need to write ActionScript code to connect to an Access database for
example.
Then this AS code would be compiled by swfc into an swf file for web use.

Usually this is done in AS by use of a LoadVars object and the get and post
methods.
I've done a few and while it is rewarding it is a slow process of coding,
posting, coding.

Good Luck!
