After very much hassling google, I found the answer to my first question to be:
carousel.scroll(9) Basically, to go to image-element number 9, I would need to pass that into a button. Much simpler than I had expected, and it works just as hoped. To the "harder" issue; replacing the External Controls. The problem, as described, is that the default controls are not paginated in a favorable manner, and as such I am trying to replicate how the jQuery pagination (http://d-scribe.de/webtools/jquery-pagination/demo/ demo_options.htm) is generated. Basically, I need to generate that exact sort of Pagination, where it does not show all available pages, but limits the number of displayed items. How would I go about making the pagination without content? So instead of switching out content, it rather works as regular links (that I attach the carousel.scroll() function to).
