Flash: Trying my Patience

So okay,what am I doing? Even though I am only half way through my tutorial, I wanted to see what I could accomplish with what I learned so far. And I discovered that what I could create wasn't much, wasn't much at all. As I fumbled through the program with my new found knowledge I realized that what I thought I knew was pretty superficial. Every time I thought I knew what I was doing, the thing wouldn't respond or act right. But the real issue was that I wasn't doing it right.
Trying to put what I learned together with the multitude of things that are interactive was a step by step process. I wasn't prepared for the amount of involvement that the program required. I feel now more than ever that I am in over my head ( I knew I should have chosen something less difficult and easy like GarageBand--my bad!).
Seeing is believing and it is being in the program itself is where I will make the most out of my learning. This program is one that can't be learned over the course of a few hours of video and very little practice sessions--which I found difficult to implement since I had no true person to coach me through the process. I am truly worried that if this is going to be the case, that if I can't find a way to get a better grasp at understanding Flash, I am going to be extremely vulnerable when we get to month 6 in the program.
But on the bright side, month six is a few months away and you never know what can happen by then ...looking at the very positive side of things. However, if you thought that from my very low trodden self talk that I wasn't able to accomplish some type of media to present to you, you were mistaken. Below is an attempt to use flash.
WARNING: May cause seizures due to the way the material is presented in the video repeatedly.
Next time, I promise it will be better. I'll be the postman and bare their motto."Neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night will keep me from my appointed rounds."
