how to set auto slider with fade

Hi everybody,

I hope someone can help me with this issue.
I want to set the homepage featured post slider with automatic sliding and I could get it, putting a littel jquery in function.php.
Problem is I’d like to have a fading effect.
And I can’t set the jquery – I’m not so smart with code.
If somebody can help wiht this – please: don’t tell to use Fourteen Extended I tried it , but I just want to fix a little jquery code in my function.php file…

So, this is the code I have for auto slider:

function add_script_in_footer(){
?>
<script type=”text/javascript” charset=”utf-8″>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var change_every = 5; // The number of seconds that the slider will auto-advance in
var current = 1;
function auto_advance(){
if(current == -1) return false;
jQuery(‘#featured-content .slider-next’).eq(current % jQuery(‘#featured-content .slider-next’).length).trigger(‘click’, [true]);
current++;
};
setInterval(function(){auto_advance()}, change_every * 1000);
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘add_script_in_footer’);

?>

while, to make a fade slider I should use something like this but can’t adapt…:

$(function(){
$(‘.fadein img:gt(0)’).hide();
setInterval(function(){
$(‘.fadein :first-child’).fadeOut()
.next(‘img’).fadeIn()
.end().appendTo(‘.fadein’);},
3000);
});

Thank-you,

Lore
