How to stop() jcarousel scroll animation

Question

I have set up jcarousel with external controls. When I 'mouseover' a link in my 'controls'-list, the carousel scrolls to the according image.

So far everything works fine, but when I 'mouseover' the different 'controls'-links to quickly, it gets stuck at the first link and waits for the scroll-animation to finish.

// SCROLL TO LINK
$('#controls a').on('mouseover',function() {
var opt = $('#controls a').index(this)+1; 
carousel.scroll($.jcarousel.intval(opt)); 
}); 

I'm not sure but I think I have to stop the running scroll animation on 'mouseover' to solve this problem.

I tried these lines (which DON'T work):

carousel.stop(true);

and:

carousel.scroll.stop(true);

Can anybody help me with this? There's probably an easy solution but I'm not experienced with jQuery or programming in general.

Had the same problem. Found very simple solution. Put it in "jquery.jcarousel.js"

/**
 * Stop animates the carousel, jump To End (animate Slide).
 *
 * @method animate
 * @return undefined
*/
stopAnimate: function() {
this.list.stop(true,true,true);
},

after this

 /**
 * Animates the carousel to a certain position.
 *
 * @method animate
 * @return undefined
 * @param p {Number} Position to scroll to.
 * @param a {Boolean} Flag indicating whether to perform animation.
 */
animate: function(p, a) {
    -/-/-/-/(several strings)
},

my //scroll to link// looks like (i have addition autoScrolling)

$('#controls a').hover(function() {
        var opt = $("#controls a").index(this) + 1;
        carousel.scroll(opt);
        carousel.stopAuto();//autoScroll Stop
    }, function() {
        carousel.stopAnimate(); //! here is located our function
        carousel.startAuto();//autoScroll Start
    });

Maybe someone finds it useful!
