Why does my cycle slideshow hide all the slides? - jquery-plugins

Question

The jQuery plugin cycle looks for elements of class slideshow. I want to add this class to a <ul> element to make a slideshow out of its <li>s. But when I add the slideshow class to the <ul> element, all <li> disappear and I get no slideshow whatsoever.
The HTML looks like this:
<ul>
<li>
<h3 class="expander">...</h3>
<div class="content">
<p>...</p>
<h4>...</h4>
<ul class="slideshow">
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
...
</ul>
As you see, the slideshow <ul> is included in another list. This parent list consists of headers which reveal the content of each list item on click. I am hiding all the .contents programmatically when the DOM is ready. Then, I add a click listener to the .expanders so they can show the hidden .contents.
It is inside these .contentss that I have .slideshows which use the cycle plugin to cycle through their list items.
The other weird thing about all this is that the slideshow's worked perfectly before I transformed my headers into toggles for their associated content. Indeed, when I added the toggle functionality to the headers, the slides are no longer visible. But then if I take away the slideshow class, they are visible again. Of course, they no longer have slideshow functionnality...
Here is the javascript for all this:
$(document).ready(function()
{
var expanders = $('.expander');
expanders.each(function()
{
$('.content', $(this).parent()).toggle();
$(this).click(function()
{
$('.content', $(this).parent()).toggle("blind", {"easing":"easeInOutCirc"}, "normal");
});
});
$('.slideshow').each(function() {
var parent = $(this).parent();
$(this).cycle(
{
fx: 'scrollHorz',
easing: 'easeInOutCirc',
timeout: 0,
nowrap: 1
});
});
});
Any idea what could be causing this problem?

Apparently, I needed to move the cycle code above the toggle code, like this:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('.slideshow').each(function() {
var parent = $(this).parent();
$(this).cycle(
{
fx: 'scrollHorz',
easing: 'easeInOutCirc',
timeout: 0,
nowrap: 1
});
});
var expanders = $('.expander');
expanders.each(function()
{
$('.content', $(this).parent()).toggle();
$(this).click(function()
{
$('.content', $(this).parent()).toggle("blind", {"easing":"easeInOutCirc"}, "normal");
});
});
});
I don't know why this works though, so better answers would be appreciated.
