[Tweener] I know this is a little against the rules...

[Zeh Fernando]

Graeme, to be honest, I think the problem may be that discussion lists are
usually used for questions and specific problems. It's quite obvious what
you want to do from your statement, but the solution is so vast that I don't
think you'll see anyone replying with all done simply because it'd require
someone to build the whole thing from scratch. People tend to find it hard
to help someone when they don't even know what's being asked, and when they
have to spend so much time only understanding what's the status of the work
at hand, or if the scope of the question is so large that it's the
equivalent of doing a lot of work for the person who's asking. It's very
easy for someone to glance over and say "nevermind".

You may have better luck looking into each problem separately. Try loading
the XML, *then* populating textfields, *then* switching slides, *then*
thinking whether to animate anything.. things like that. I'm pretty sure
there are specific tutorials for each of those steps; don't try looking for
one catch-all guide (because even if you find one, it'll probably be pretty
restrictive). Then, if you have one very specific problem, and when nothing
seems to work, and when you've exhausted everything, *then* specific mailing
lists might help you. But they should always be your last resort, not the
other way around.
