Hi, I would like to do:

Use a free web service that will show country data base on ip address.
Use that country data and have an animation showing a visual representation of email flowing through the ether using Flash. I am building free email forms at flashmailforms.com using flash and php and would liketo add this to the list. Can anyone tell me where to get the free easy to implemnet web service and how I might start using mysql talking to flash to get the animation sequence going?
