Procedure; Human Factors
Captain flying first ever arrival into MMZH; thankfully it was VFR. Planned and briefed approach to Runway 08 (VOR DME-2 Runway 08). Also reviewed and briefed a circle from that approach to land on Runway 26. Non-radar environment with no ATIS. Approach control assigned VOR A to Runway 26. Approach is not in our database. We asked for the planned approach; but it was denied. I gave the aircraft to the FO and I tried to build the approach; but I could not build it. I took the aircraft back and let the FO attempt to build the approach. We were told to slow at FL200 which put us high approaching the VOR. I used the speed brake and slowed and extended the flaps to 1 once at 210 KTS and below FL200. I disengaged the autopilot and while I tried to visually acquire the field and check the FO's Flight Management Guidance Computer (FMGC) inputs I allowed the aircraft speed to increase to 237 KTS before hearing the overspeed warning and adjusting the pitch to slow the aircraft back below VFE (230 KTS).

Flight crew reported overspeeding the flaps when they were distracted by ATC approach routing concerns.
