Hi Everyone,
I am trying to add my own functionality to a jQuery plugin and to be honest it is not going well, I am using the easySlider 1.7 from here
My idea is to use the paginated version, there is an example on the linked site above, but instead pausing when the user clicks on one the numbered links, I want it to skip to that slide hold and then carry on. Below is my attempt, I will post the whole plugin and comment around the bits I understand and the bits I have added.

It is pretty obvious that I am way off in my attemp, I would be really greatful if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks
