Flickity carousel as navigation for another

Question

So, I'm using this https://codepen.io/desandro/pen/wByaqj

And I activated the prevNextButtons: true, like this:

$('.characters-main').flickity({
      prevNextButtons: false,
      wrapAround: false,
      pageDots: false,
      autoPlay: 10000
    });
    $('.characters-nav').flickity({
      asNavFor: '.characters-main',
      cellAlign: 'right',
      prevNextButtons: true,
      contain: true,
      pageDots: false,
      arrowShape: {
        x0: 10,
        x1: 70, y1: 50,
        x2: 70, y2: 50,
        x3: 35
      }
    });

I want that, when I click on the prevNextButtons for .characters-nav to automatically select the element from .characters-main.

This is how it works now:

I have taken Your Example over here and I have added the following code:

 // Main div
    var flkty = new Flickity('.carousel-main');

   // Next and previous events of the navigation div
    $(".carousel-nav .next").on("click", function() {
          // Changing items of the main div
           flkty.next();
    });



 $(".carousel-nav .previous").on("click", function() {
          // Changing items of the main div
          flkty.previous();
    });

In Your Case it should be like this:

         // Your main div is characters-main
        var flkty = new Flickity('.characters-main');

       // Next and previous events of the characters-nav
        $(".characters-nav .next").on("click", function() {
              // Changing items of the main div
               flkty.next();
        });



     $(".characters-nav .previous").on("click", function() {
              // Changing items of the main div
              flkty.previous();
        });
