* The code below describes how to make a throbbing or automatic fade
* sequence of messages. It is important to note that this function is
* NOT part of the Buffered Text-Fade Effect, but merely an example of
* how it can be used. In this example, the throb() function controls
* the commands which are sent to the fade engine; it is called
* repeatedly at set time intervals rather than using mouseover events
* as triggers.
*
* Notes:
* - A global array "hash" is used to keep track of where each
* animation is currently in the sequence.
* - The list of messages defined in the fader *must* start at one (1)
* and count upwards without skipping any integers.
* - The third line of the throb() function controls how fast
* commands get sent to the fade engine. It waits only 100 milli-
* seconds when fading out, but 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds) when
* fading in; this means the message will remain visible for about 5
* seconds before fading out again.
*
* Other types of fade animation are possible simply by designing
* different ways to control the fade-ins and fade-outs!
