get reference to the element that calls slides()

[Panos Laganakos]

Is there a way to get reference to the element that calls the slides()?

ie:

$('#my_slideshow).slides({
    animationStart: function() {
        <reference_to_myslideshow>.something();
    }
});

I had the same problem. You need to modify the script source.

Replace every occurence of 

option.animationStart(current + 1);

with

option.animationStart(current + 1,elem);

and 

option.animationComplete(next + 1,elem);

with

option.animationComplete(next + 1,elem);

then use this code:

$('#my_slideshow).slides({
    animationStart: function(current,element) {
        element.something();
    }
});
