Road Block!

So, I've completed all the documentation and refracted all my code and set up a pretty development environment. My next step was to figure out how to show friends playing Tip The Cows and allow players to invite more. It took about five minutes to figure out how to invite friends, but displaying the friends who have played is taking forever. Can't seem to find any information about it. I'm sure you all understand that frustration. You've seen it done, you know it's possible, but you can't find anything that explains how to go about it!

First thing I need to do is find out how to fill an object in Javascript with a list of user ID's that are friends with the user and have played the game. Then I have to go and get the profile picture for each user ID. Then I have to send all of the data to flash. I have no idea how I'm going to send the pictures and get them into graphics. Then I have to go and grab all the personal high scores from the database by searching each user ID and get the user's name. Then I have to format it all nice and pretty in a window on the side of the menu.

Lots of work, but I'm hoping I can break it down step by step and get it accomplished.
