Data syncing

Ok, all the hardware is here and the code is installed but i'm having issues. The LED's are very erratic and i'm not sure why.

I will summarize what I'm trying to accomplish and how I tried to do that.

Basically I want to press a button on the first arduino and have arduinos 2 & 3 wirelessly receive that and have each one power an LED when the button is depressed.
I also want arduinos 2 & 3 to each power a separate LED that should flash at some periodic rate. .1 second on, 1 second off, or whatever time settings I choose.

So here's how I tried to do it:

The first arduino/xbee simply sends out an "H" or "L" and powers an LED depending on the position of the switch on pin 2.

The second arduino/xbee receives the "H" or "L" and powers another LED accordingly. It also uses a modified version of the "Blink without delay" example to run the periodic flashing. I have attached a Serial.print ("N") or "F" to the state of the periodic LED.

The third arduino/xbee receives either the "N" or "F" or "H" or "L" and powers LED's accordingly.

I know this is simple but I can't seem to get it to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
