I am trying to build a xml driven portfolio.  
What i am trying to build is something like this [http://www.mateoparrilla.com/](http://www.mateoparrilla.com/) if you check the random works section you see 6 projects.  
What i want is to have 3 projects next to eithother and when a new one is added in the xml file then it puts it underneed the other 3 and starts a new line of projects. The project files will be external swf files. i would like the view projects mouse over part also to come out the xml file and i need a information part telling the company name and then the programs it was made in. I dont have a clue how to do this.  
Really would like some help i am checking out books and tutorials but cant find any good info. If somebody could hook me up with a quick and dirty source file with now extra’s just the technique behind it.  
That would be really creat because i learn the best from examening source files.

well it seems what you need is simply something to build verticaly off a xml list so you don’t have to access the .fla to update all the time.

[http://kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/squirrelfinder.htm](http://kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/squirrelfinder.htm)

you can get a somewhat good example there for what you need to do cause that builds off the xml in a sence.
