      infiniteLoop: function() {
          setInterval(function(){
            $('.sliderItem').eq(currentItem).stop().transition({opacity: 0},2000);

            //if at last item, reset currentItem to 0
            if(currentItem == numberOfItems -1){
                currentItem = 0;
            }else{
                currentItem++;
            }

            $('.sliderItem').eq(currentItem).stop().transition({opacity: 1},1000);

          }, InfiniteRoator.itemInterval);

        init: function()
        {
            //set values
            var initialFadeIn = 1000,
                fadeTime = 2500,
                numberOfItems = $('.sliderItem').length,
                currentItem = 0,
                infiniteLoop;
           
            //fade in initial slide
            $('.sliderItem').eq(currentItem).stop().transition({opacity: 1},2000);
    
            //start looping through slides 


            //interrupt loop when hovering over navigation
            $('#sliderNavigation li a').hover(
                function () {
                    currentItem = $(this).closest('li').index();
                    clearInterval(infiniteLoop);
                    $('.sliderItem').stop().transition({opacity: 0},2000);
                    $('.sliderItem').eq(currentItem).stop().transition({opacity: 1},1000);
                },InfiniteRotator.infiniteLoop());
        }
    };
 
InfiniteRotator.init();

Without actually knowing what's going on with this/ what you're trying to solve/ what the html looks like so it can be tested, I can't really go beyond that.

That being said, currentItem isn't defined because it's not in scope there, bring it up into the syntax with itemInterval, and then reference it from there.

And there's a typo on line 20. Pretty easy to fix

I appreciate your help on this. There's a working version of the old code here: http://knocktastic.com/clients/unleashed/slider/

I'd really like to get it so that the hover/pause event can be a callback so that I can reference it outside of this code. Ultimately, I want to turn it into a jquery plugin, but I'm more interested in learning how the object literal syntax works.
