Cycling actors in a side scrolling list.

Anyone know how to accomplish this...?

I have 8 individual actors.

Spots 1, 2 and 3 will display 3 out of the 8 actors on the scene at all times.

When left arrow button is pressed, I would like each actor to move left one slot. (Ex: From slot 3 to slot 2. From slot 2 to slot 1...etc). And also, vice versa if right arrow is pressed, moving actors right one slot. (Ex: From slot 2 to slot 3). This would bring new actors hiding off the scene in and out of the scene.

If possible, if actor from slot 1 moves left into slot 0, I would like to cycle this actor to the end of the line into slot 8. And vice versa, if right arrow is pressed moving actors in the other direction.

Check out my sloppy diagram for what I'm trying to explain :p

Thanks in advance!

    I think GSHelper and DeepBlueApps both have free Cover Flow templates that do this.

    Awesome @tatiang thank you! I've been working endlessly on my project, the past few days, I can't even think straight anymore, hah. Your recommendation was helpful :)
