Another developer asked me for help with his cycle setup.
Instead of sliding neatly aside like the text-container examples on the cycle site, we are getting a weird overlap effect if we use 'slideX' ... and if we use 'scrollRight' , for some reason, the cycle does not activate at all.

Here's proof it does, or should, work - look at the bottom right example, here
http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/int2.html
he is using 'scrollRight' with text ... but doesn't have the same issue at all.

Any ideas?
