FLASH 8 supports AS2
If you want to use AS3 in your solution, then you would need CS3 or above at least..
If you go AS3 route.. your on you own! lol.. (I cant help much)
Again.. I cant help you with the flash side of things.. until you pick a 'solution' out there you are comfortable with.
ie: we dont how to send the data to the 3rd party solution you eventually decide to use....until you choose one.
