Hey all,

I’m creating a rotating banner for one of my sites highlighting recent updates and features, and I need some help. There’s a row of buttons users can click on to view any particular .swf file. I used external .swf transistion tutorial found on this site:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm)

What I want to do is have those external .swf files rotate automatically, so that users don’t have to click on each button if they don’t want to, because the banner rotates on its own. However, if they _do_ if fact want to view something specific, they can do so by clicking on one of the buttons.

Another minor detail… When a particular .swf is loaded, I want the corresponding button to be highlighted or selected somehow, so users know which section they’re viewing.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
