cross fade images jquery-infinite-rotator

hi
i'm using this code  to play a series of images cross-fading in an infinite loop. What I'd like to do is have a button that will hide the div that is displaying the looped images then another button that shows it again BUT when clicked it starts the loop from the beginning, that is to say the first pic should be seen right away when the div fades back in. At the moment I have it set up just to fadein /out the div but can't figure out how to play from the first image.

seen here:
any suggestions?
