help needed...

Hi,
I am an industrial design student working on my senior thesis project. I am developing an interface to control a flash application which quizzes children. I am hoping to utilize an Arduino board to accept inputs from two momentary switches, and direct them to make one of two selections within the flash application. I am extremely novice in this field and any input or suggestions would be appreciated, especially in regards to the coding. Please email at: jaredvanscoder@hotmail.com
Thank you in advance!
