cycle and stepcarousel conflict

cycle and stepcarousel conflict

Hi all,

I'm working on a site and trying to get a news ticker and a content slider working. I'm using News Ticker for WordPress and Smooth Slider, the former uses Cycle, the latter Stepcarousel. I can get both of them working fine independently, and when they're both on the same page the begin working fine, but at some point the ticker will slide at the same time that the slider moves at which point the ticker just stops.

After updating cycle to the latest version, the stop doesn't happen, but every few cycles one piece of content stays in place in the ticker and the next item slides over it. Things resume normally until the ticker makes it through the final list item, then it just won't restart.

Any thoughts on what's causing this and how to correct it?
