trying to combine two extensions on the same page

All, I'm trying to put the Anything Slider and the jquery cycle slideshow in different locations on the same php page of my website. The Anything slider works fine until I add the jquery cycle slideshow, then the slider doesn't work properly, but the jquery cycle slideshow does work. I've even tied putting the jquery cycle slideshow on a separate layer, but that doesn't help. what do I need to do to make both extension work on the same page.

I also tried other slide show and conveyor extensions on the page with the Anything slider and get the same result. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

This is because both extensions are using the same jQuery, you can turn of the jQuery in the jquery cycle slideshow by simply selecting 4. Cycle Slideshow jQuery <-- Do Not Use JQuery--> in the extension properties this is mentioned in the PDF filke ....

Thanks, I always forget that part. I regularly download the extensions and updates, and pull them from the toolbox to use, but forget to check the "getting started" for pdf instructions.

Should I be providing a way to exclude/stop using jQuery modules in extensions too? If so, what's the best way to do this?

@Jade Turtle
Let me know how you get on with Anything Slider and when you're done let me have the URL. I can be contacted via my Demo Support page if needed.

If you take a look at how I do this in the scrollrota extension I have sent to you, it just a matter of making a extra varaible...to allow the jQuery to be selected or use another jquery or share, note that they must be using the same ie if you use the anything slider using 1.4.2 and the jquery cycle slideshow using 1.4.2 then you can have both using just one instance by making a extra variable to allow this...

The anything slider works great and as soon as I disabled the jquery as per Bacon's instructions, both extensions work perfectly on my page.
