I'm using slidesjs to create 5 different slideshows/galleries on a single-page site. They all have the class '.slides' and have their own ID.
I do not want any of the slideshows to play until a play function is called. I've been able to successfully prevent each slideshow from playing onload using the following:
function initiateSlides() {
$('.slides').slides({
generateNextPrev: true,
fadeSpeed: 800,
hoverPause: true,
play: 3000,
pause: 2500,
preloadImage: 'images/loading.gif',
effect: 'fade'
});
clearInterval($('#projects-commercial-slides').data('interval'));
clearInterval($('#projects-residential-slides').data('interval'));
clearInterval($('#projects-hospitality-slides').data('interval'));
clearInterval($('#projects-public-slides').data('interval'));
clearInterval($('#projects-industrial-slides').data('interval'));
}
(Using class '.slides' does not stop the slideshows, hence using IDs.) However, I'm now unable to play any of the slideshows. I've tried the following:
function playSlides() {
$('#projects-residential-slides').animate();
}
function playSlides() {
$('#projects-residential-slides').play();
}
function playSlides() {
$('#projects-residential-slides').animate({
animationStart:0
});
}
function playSlides() {
$('#projects-residential-slides').animate('next',fade);
}
Your suggestions would be gratefully received as I've been working on this for days now(!). I appreciate I may not be preventing the slideshows from playing in the most elegant way. The full slides.jquery.js is here:

I'd suggest using (or taking a look at) Slidejs 2 https://github.com/nathansearles/Slides.
Reason none of of what you're trying is working is because he never exposes those methods you're trying to call (some don't even exist). Calling slides without the play option will prevent autoplaying, but it will also initialize slidejs (wrapping the children of the container). Calling it again later will re-initialize it thus resulting it the double wrapping you mentioned.
In version 2, he added an API that would work for you:
// With slidejs2
// stopping all slides
$(".slides").each(function() { $(this).slides("stop"); });
// playing all slides
$(".slides").each(function() { $(this).slides("play"); });
Aside from that, you clearInterval code could also be written as:
$('.slides').each(function() { clearInterval($(this).data("interval")); });
