XML portfolio + infinite menu problems

Hello,

I’ve tried applying Ilyas’ infinite menu to the Senocular’s XML portfolio. However, the movement is very jerky–you can see where the thumbs stop and begin. I was wondering how this could be fixed??

Also, would it be possible that when you click on a thumbnail, a PDF file is launched? How could I do this from the XML file?

I’m trying to create a continuous scrolling horizontal menu. The menu would contain pictures of news articles and when you click on the picture, you could read the article in the PDF!

Since each article is pretty long, like news clippings, I don’t think having this info in a flash pop-up box would work? :h:

Thanks for your help! I’ll attach my file to this post.
