    well first off, you have to explode the block and associate the elements you want the actions to modify.

    have you searched the 'sharing' thread and discected those door blocks?
    Sometimes, i get lost in my own thoughts and need to ask directions to find my way back.

    hmm ..... your block seems a bit disorganized - you want every action to be arranged in suh a way that it makes complete sense a week or three after creating the DB. Otherwise it's hard to figure what everything does on a complex block. Make sure you label everything as much as possible when first starting out. It may take a bit more time, but that extra time is easily worth the brain aneurisms you're gonna save yourself later.

    hmm ...... a dynamic block within a dynamic block? Asking for trouble. Nested blocks are baaaaaad, in my opinion.

    As Chris stated, check the Sharing thread and dissect the 4 or 5 door blocks that are already there. There should be enough there to help you understand. If, after all that you still don't get it, ask us. we'll juice ya up.
