[jQuery] return this.each

[jQuery] return this.each

Thanks for the help Mike, it's starting to come together. I've been
testing it just now.
If I do use return this.each() then how do I reference the jQuery
methods? without this.hover() etc? Obviously as this is no longer what
I am expecting this.hover (as you say) fails. So do I use my 'self'
variable or another way? I thought I saw someone just using .hover()
(without any prefix) but this just fails.
I don't fully understand the difference, currently I don't use any dom
methods I just use jQuery (I partly thought that was the point of it?
- Although I realise sometimes you need to go deeper).
Basically I have 3 internal functions defined in two ways as:
nextItem = function ()
or
function pause()
Am I right in thinking that nextItem() could be called through a
jQuery chain and that pause() can only be called internally from my
plugin? Or are they both the same just written differently?
I have put my complete plugin and demo online if anyone is interested
/ can tell me what's wrong or right!

Thanks a lot, for once plodding through javascript is quite 'fun'!!!
