I went through the tut for the sliding menu. It was really helpful for what I am doing. Now I am trying to add a timer to the function. Basically looking to have each section slide automatically after maybe 8 seconds. As the sections slide across the buttons will highlight to indicate which section you are on. When you are on a section the button for that section would become inactive. Once the all sections have come across, the menu slides back to the first slide and now only slides when the user clicks one of the buttons. The timer can be interrupted as well by a user clicking a button.

Any idea of where to start on modifying the script from this tut to make this concept work?
