very helpful.

but since i have no teacher, i do have a book, but am still having trouble with cocoa, i don't see how i can just dream up how to do this on my own without someone showing/explaining how to do it

I'm not trying to be rude, just to say that your time would be better spent working from your book and asking for help understanding/clarifying concepts from it instead of asking people to write an app for you one question at a time and then pasting it all together (i.e. your strategy is faulty).

This stuff is hard, it takes a lot of time and effort (especially when you can only do it in your spare time).

oh i know it's hard. if it was easy, i wouldn't be here. but i think everyone learns their own way. i, for one, have trouble following a book by myself and learning that way. i need a teacher. and since i can't afford to take classes from BNR, i am out of luck. so this is my other teacher - people on the internet (this case, MR).

the more questions i ask, the more projects i go thru, i will pick this up. sure, i might go thru a lot of tutorials online, etc, and i will go thru the book also.

but, i am trying the learn the way i know how to learn. if you can help me out, i would be very grateful. if you can't, no worries. i will continue to search and work for the answer.

granted, i might ask what seems like stupid questions, but if i don't ask, i won't learn

here is a quick video of what i have going on:

maybe it just takes awhile before HD is available
 
well i have not been working on this project, since i got stuck with saving the time and then calling it back.

i plan to try again, since i haven't looked at this in a few weeks.

if anyone can help me out with it, i'd appreciate it.
