[jQuery] counter like 1 of 10 for jcarousel

[tetrix]

hello;
 i need to make a function: it should get the length of an array then
everytime i click next it should increase its count until the length
array ends. the next and prev hits would be placed just under this 1
of 10 counter.
can anyone guide me on how to do this? i checked the Cycle plugin wich
as this function but it's a bit too hard for me now to extract it...
