How to autoslide jquery banner slider

So i have this banner slider that moves on click of a trigger.
How can I get this to automatically slide from one banner to the next automatically after a few seconds yet still keep the click feature too.

I’ve looked into using setInterval but i just cant figure out how to tweak this code to work how i want.

Thank you.

$(document).ready(function() {


 $(".folio_block").each(function() {
 
 //Set Default State of each portfolio piece
 $(this).find(".paging").show();
 $(this).find(".paging a:last").addClass("active");
 
 //Inject <span> for Tool tip
 $(this).find(".image_reel a").append("<span></span>");
 $(this).find(".image_reel span").css({"opacity" : "0"});
 
 //Get size of images, how many there are, then determin the size of the image reel.
 var windowWidth = $(this).find(".image_reel span").width();
 var imageSum = $(this).find(".image_reel img").size();
 var imageReelWidth = windowWidth * imageSum;
 
 //Adjust the image reel to its new size
 $(this).find(".image_reel").css({'width' : imageReelWidth});
 
 }); 

 //Hover Effect for Tooltip
 $(".image_reel a").hover(function() {
 $(this).find("span").stop().animate({ opacity: 0.2}, 200 ).show();
 }, function() {
 $(this).find("span").stop().animate({ opacity: 0}, 200 );
 });

 //Pagin events
 $(".paging a").click(function() {
 
 var triggerID = $(this).attr("rel") - 1;
 alert (triggerID);
 var imgWidth = $(this).parent().parent().find("img").width();
 var image_reelPosition = triggerID * imgWidth;
 
 //Ignore if Active
 if ( $(this).hasClass("active")) { 
 //Do Nothing
 }
 else {
 //Set active paging
 $(this).parent().parent().find(".paging a").removeClass("active");
 $(this).addClass("active");

 //image_reel Image
 $(this).parent().parent().find(".image_reel").animate({ 
 left: -image_reelPosition
 }, 300 );
 }
 return false;
 
 });
});

I think easySlider1.7 has that functionality and it’s easy to use.
