[Plugin: JJ NextGen JQuery Slider] Pause Play

Will the following code work with JJ slider:

$('#slider').data('nivoslider').stop(); //Stop the Slider
$('#slider').data('nivoslider').start(); //Start the Slider

Trying to build a pause/play button. Although the following code works fine in the Nivo demo, I can’t seem to get it to work with JJ Slider in WordPress.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(window).load(function() {
    $('#slider').nivoSlider();

    var nivoStop = "Pause", nivoPlay = "Play";
    $('#slider .nivo-controlNav').html($('#slider .nivo-controlNav').html()+'<span class="nivo-stop">'+nivoStop+'</span>');
    $('#slider .nivo-stop').click(function(){
        if($('#slider').data('nivo:vars').stop){
            $('#slider .nivo-stop').html(nivoStop).removeClass('stopped');
        }else{
            $('#slider .nivo-stop').html(nivoPlay).addClass('stopped');
        }
        $('#slider').data('nivo:vars').stop = !$('#slider').data('nivo:vars').stop;
    });
});
</script>

<style type="text/css">
    .nivo-stop{
        cursor:pointer;
    }
</style>

Thanks!!
