Hello

I had my portfolio up for showcase for about 6 months ago. It's now time for version 2.0. Except for putting up new work, most changes is beneath the surface... Everything is dynamic and the content is XML-driven.

I had problems before with a lot of lagging and strange behaviours when viewed with a "slow" computer. I don't know if that problem has changed with the new version so I need you people to help me test it. I would also appreciate any comments and critiques on my work.

A general question... what runs smoother - actionscripting animation or frame based animation?

here it is ->

b3nkobe: cool, thanks for the comments! yes maybe i could use another font. the lowercase is a bit too tiny.
bwh2 and esarbak: that's good.. but if someone with a slower cpu like <1 ghz could test it as well it would be great.

very cool and i loved all the sound effects but one the rollover sounds for the submenus in your portfolio. Ever since that sound came out on flashkit its been done to death it drives me crazy when I hear it. Other than that though everything looks really great good job.

cool, thanks for helping me and the nice comments...!

i don't remember where the rollover sound came from but maybe it was flashkit. I think it goes well with the other sound fx but I'll consider getting another. The click sound is completely original any way (in the meaning I made it more or less my self) :)

great - it seems like no one has experienced any lag so far!

I just got to think of something... Are you guys on PC or Mac? I heard the mac flash player is bit different from the pc version. So if someone on mac could test my site it would be cool...
