Content Rotator vs. Tabbed Panels

Question

Hey Guys,
I've got the following HTML/Spry content rotator:
http://www.glmmrs.com/temp/contentrotator.html
As it stands now, it rotates by itself and cycles through the
tabs without any problems. If I turn off the "cycle.start()"
function call in the body tag, I can correctly click through the
1-5 tabs and view the content independently without a problem.
However I cannot get both to work together Clicking on the tab
links when the content is rotating throws everything off, and I
haven't been able to get it to work correctly. I have the following
JS which handles the cycling of the content here:
http://www.glmmrs.com/temp/spry/customSpry.js
And the clicking of the panels independently is handled
within:
http://www.glmmrs.com/temp/spry/SpryTabbedPanels.js
So my question is - how can I get these two to work together?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi kfratomatic84,
I'm planning on integrating the content rotating feature into
the next version of the tabbed panels. I've written an extension
for the 1.6.1 version of the SpryTabbedPanels.js that gives folks
the same functionality. Rather than using the rotator I posted a
long time ago, try using this in conjunction with your
SpryTabbedPanels.js and SpryEffect.js:

You can see how to start the content rotating here:
http://www.shinarp.com/SprySamples/tabbedpanels/tabbed_panel_sample3.htm
If you click on a tab while the content is rotating, it
automatically stops the rotation, and you will have to restart it
with a call to tp.start() if you want it to continue.
