jQuery Cycle: How to stop it by default, and start it on mouseover?

Hi,

is it possible to make the jQuery Cycle script paused by default - ie. when page loads, it will not automatically start sliding through the images?

I am fairly certain this is pretty simple to do with the cycle('stop') (or 'pause'), but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Below is the code, which makes the slide show play after page has loaded - then it pauses after first mouseover (mouse hover and mouse away) - and then it plays again when mouse hovers. So in other words: after the first mouseover, the script works like it is supposed to...

  1. $(document).ready(function(){
            $('.name-of-container').hover(
                    function() {
                            $(this).cycle({                           
                                    timeout:500,
                                    delay:  1,
                                    speed:  1
                            })
                    },
                    function(){
                            $(this).cycle('pause');
                    }
            ).trigger('mouseenter');
    });












Thank you for any assistance.
