Flash + Offline Database

I'm not sure where to post this, it's not really programming but it's not a real computer support question.

I need to make a multimedia cd that consists of reference guides for animals/plants. The layout would be the same for all the pages, and there would be at least 50 of them.

I was thinking of making a flash based app, but the thought of making each page individually really scares me. In an ideal world, I would just make the layout, point it to a file that acts as a database and make it work, but I'm not sure how to make something like that.

Any suggestion?

The problem is, it's not a web application, but an exe. Just insert the CD in an offline computer and magic, it works. :(
