XML Portfolio Template v3.3
This is my latest installment of my XML Portfolio Template. This version has a great deal of upgrades and added features. XML Portfolio Template v3 is a full Flash website completely managed by XML files that use modules to control content. You can easily use this project to make many different kinds of websites with small amounts of customization. Adding and changing your content is super easy. The code is well commented and you can see for yourself how things work by viewing the help file.

Planned updates:
v3.4 – coming soon
- Enable scroll-wheel functionality in all appropriate areas
- Fix jerky navigation animation
- Update Scrolling Gallery to have large image and video displays
- Allow multiple animation configurations from the config.xml so you can have more than just the sliding effect
