## this is a cry for help for any one who has suffered defeat time and time again at gettign somethign to work.

flash chat rooms i dont get it.  
ive dipped my hand in everything. from digital arts, to C++ to advance photoshop filters, to 3ds max, to html and lingo and ofcourse acctionscript.

but i just dont get it.  
i have been trying to make a basic online flash cat room for over a year now (by that i mean i trued doing one a year ago, failed and never tried it again until a few days ago)

but as any of you know a few days trying to make somethign work is hugly frustrating.  
a few days ago, i never understood mysql (im no master now) but as soon as (with the users help on this fine forum) i made a mysql database work. i got the concept.  
and i kinda get the concept of this flash chat.

now the bottom line is, i am absolutly sick and absolutly tired of trying to get this to work (anyone who has been in a similar situation im sure feels my pain, of constant frustration, confussion and failure).

* * *

so to what i am asking for.  
\<a href=“[http://www.gotoandplay.it/\_articles/2003/12/xmlSocket.php](http://www.gotoandplay.it/_articles/2003/12/xmlSocket.php)”\>[http://www.gotoandplay.it/\_articles/2003/12/xmlSocket.php](http://www.gotoandplay.it/_articles/2003/12/xmlSocket.php)\</a\>

thats the tutorial i am doing.

my server is on [freehostia.com](http://freehostia.com)

so, what am i meant to put on my server. what am i meant to change in the code. i understand the local host should be changed, but i would of thought my localhost would be my website  
[peaphil.freehostia.com](http://peaphil.freehostia.com)  
but that doesnt work.

please help me, im very very much comtimplating giving up and never looking in to online interaction and communication (and as a designer i think its becoming more and more important).
