It seems to me that if this is for a course and the project was
assigned to you, you should do it alone without any direct help or
code re-utilization. You should learn how to do it, not how to modify
existing code to suit your needs. I'm sure you're learn that along
your degree.
This does not mean that you can't get help on specific flex question,
but again, nobody will do _your_ job!
