Changing JS code to make Images Slide

I need help implementing a slide function to my slideshow, I've got most of it done, started off from a tutorial and with lots of browsing on the jquery website, but now I'm stuck and need help.

I want to achieve two things, one is to get the images to slide from right to left, but the first image must not slide in, it stays put but all other images slide.

And I have a caption at the bottom, i've got it figured out how to show and hide the text but not the colored div, basically my goal was to have a caption/footer show up with a link in on the last slide, which would stay a little longer on that particular slide but if it's doesn't that's fine as the first two requests are the most important to me.

Thank you in advance, below is the javascript code.

You may be better off looking at a UI framework such as jQuery Tools Scrollable.

http://flowplayer.org/tools/scrollable/

It's very well written, and has a customisable API when you call $('#selector').data('scrollable')
