[SIZE=4]A[/SIZE]fternoon guys.

I’m going some work using the Sliding Menu tutorial as seen at  
**[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm)**

This is exactly the system i’ve been looking for, have built a great looking page using the information here.

However, I need some help working out a way to make Flash automatically go through each item on a timer, so that the page scrolls even if the user hasn’t clicked a button (i.e. every 7 or 8 seconds).

I’m sure people have done it before, and am hunting the innerwebs as well, but if anyone has done this can you please post up a code snippet for me?

I’ll love you forever and will even roll you a cigarette and pour you a whiskey if ever you were to come visit me. :drink:

[SIZE=1]_By the way, as my first post i’d also like to say that Kirupa sh!ts all over [FlashKit.com](http://FlashKit.com), and it doesn’t offend my mind with thousands of crappy flashing ads. Top work gentlepeople!_[/SIZE]
