jQuery Cycle Plugin - manual navigation

jQuery Cycle Plugin - manual navigation

Hi there,
first of all, I'd like to thank you for the awesome jQuery Cycle plugin :). I've been using it for a long time and I'm 100% satisfied with it.

I'm making a bit unusual website right now and I would like to display a slideshow with custom navigation on the site. Instead of numbers, I'd like to use for example something like this:
  1. <div id="nav">
  2.       <a href="#firstslide">A</a>
  3.       <a href="#secondslide">B</a>
  4.       <a href="#thirdslide">C</a>
  5.       ...
  6. </div>
Is there a way, how to associate those manual anchors to concrete slides? And... if it's possible, assign an active class to currently highlighted slideshow (anchor).

Thanks a lot, Jakub
