well.... im dying trying to get this to work... umm.. i have attempted 4 times, and no luck... except the 2nd time, it did work, i still have that code saved too, but... not exactly...

ok, this is a broken code, but it should give u a good idea of how it should work... this is my 4th attempt... if you can help get it working like it should i would appreciate it!
