I have not been posting lately because I am studying XML & ActionScript for making my own Flash RSS reader. To put it lightly, MY HEAD IS KILLING ME!

I just popped in to see what you guys were talking about and get some encouragement to keep going. (Am I whining? If I am... someone please slap me and say, "Snap out of it, and get a hold of yourself man! This is what you were born to do!")

If anyone knows any resources I can use, let me know. I have been using kirupa.com and thegoldenmean.com so far, but maybe using other resources will also help.

Hang in there Alpha7, it gets easier, really. The one thing that is absolutely key is persistence, you definitely have that going on!

You may want to check out flashvillage.com and look for threads started by Ruver. Check also flash-db.com.

Good luck!

I recently did some basic XML studying.. i know your pain. Just take it step by step, dont get to carried away. You'll learn it eventually!

Alpha, hang in there! Just remember, focus on your goal and think of how great you'll feel when you accomplish it.

I do believe you can do it Alpha. Please hang in there and 'enjoy' the ride. The people of Internetopia really need/want your website (if your making one). I am currently working on that stuff too, so we should both hang tight.

Encouragement

Man, encouragement is annoying...

Isn't that a good thing and a sign that you want to learn? I haven't been around here lately too as I'm on the same boat.

keep at it, we all know it will pay off.

Keep it up buddy. Just remember, it may help at times to take a break for a bit and then come back.

Just think about the relief and sense of accomplishment you will get once the task is complete.

Thanks. You guys are great. I think I can make it now. "I think I Can....I Think I Can... I CAN !"

Thanks for the "Slap" TxG... I needed that. The second one helped the most.
