Javascript Conflict with Slimbox and Mootools and jQuery

[bhensarl]

My site uses JQuery Easyslider 1.7 to display images on the splash page, and I've never had issues until I recently installed Slimbox with MooTools. Now I can't get the two to work concurrently. Either one works perfectly if the other isn't loaded, but if they're both loaded Slimbox will work, but Easyslider won't and if I open the error console I get the following error message, "$("#slider") is null. I see that code in the javascript for Easyslider:

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){    
            $("#slider").easySlider({
                auto: false,
                continuous: true 
            });
        });
        
        
        
   
        function my_redirect()
        {
            stop();
            return 0;
        }
    </script>

I know very, very little about Javascript. Can someone tell me how to work around it? Thanks in advance.
