Hi All… I"m very new to AS in general…

//Timer  
var slideDuration:uint = 8000; // or use whatever  
var slideTimer:Timer=new Timer(slideDuration,0);  
slideTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,autoAdvanceF);  
slideTimer.start();

var btnA:Array = [one\_btn,two\_btn,three\_btn];  
var previousBtn:SimpleButton = one\_btn // use class type of your buttons

function autoAdvanceF(e:TimerEvent):void{  
nextButtonF(previousBtn).dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK));  
}

function nextButtonF(btn:SimpleButton):SimpleButton{ // use class type of your buttons  
for(var i:uint=0;i\<btnA.length;i++){

return btnA[(i+1)%btnA.length];  
}

return null;
