Hi, Beno! I'm the list admin for Flashcoders. > The Ch'an masters weren't so subtle. They were famous for beating people > senseless with their staffs and shouting them out the door.

Presumably, the Ch'an masters didn't need anyone's help with Flash or AS. And they weren't on this mailing list. As the list admin, I'd prefer that the list get back to what it's about - Flash and AS. If you want to ask Flash/AS questions, feel free to do so, but you should expect no more help than you're paying for. If your expectations are then exceeded, that's good for you. If you do ask questions, you should probably try not to alienate the other list members, who are presumably the potential source of the answers you want. If said list members criticize the way you're asking questions, it really doesn't matter whether they're right or wrong to do so, as you simply won't get any answers if you continue doing whatever it is you're being criticized for doing. That's what happens when you rely solely on the goodwill of others. Now, to take off my list admin hat for a second, I strongly recommend that you chart another course of action, as this simply doesn't appear to be working out for you. Buy a book, steal a book, abduct a competent Flash developer, go back into the jungle, whatever - you simply don't seem to be making any progress doing what you're doing now. The oft-quoted definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting different results. Of course, you're free to ignore that advice, but if you're going to ignore everyone's advice, why ask questions on a mailing list in the first place? Please don't reply to this, unless your reply consists of Flash programming questions. Thanks in advance!
