Hi.
First of all let me thank you for this great plugin.
I'm using Foundation and needing a slider, so Orbit was my first choice.

I have 2 questions:

1) But I'm having some real problems on sliding content only, no images. The texts are showing one above the other, and judging by what I read in the forums the only solution is to apply a background to each content section - but my really problem resides here... I need the background to be transparent.
Is there any solution for that?

2) Is there any way to use custom buttons to navigate through the slider? I've tried
$('#next_btn').click(function(){
trigger('orbit.next'); // or orbit.prev
});
with no success, but most of all, I would need something like:
$('#next_btn').click(function(){
trigger(3);
});

Appreciate your help.
Cheers.
