i am creating an image gallery using jquery there needs to be a row where there are

1. thumbnail images which would have

2. left and right arrow images so that the users can see multiple
images and when these images are clicked

3. a bigger image would appear above these thumbnails,

4. also when each of the thumbnails are clicked along with the bigger
images that appear i would also like to update a caption(few words of
text) which would describe each image.

i have used a combination of jcarousel and other plugins but could not
get all the 4 effects i wanted

is there a plugin which would have all the 4 effects i mentioned

please advice.
thanks

Why not customize it yourself? Take a simple plugin like jCarousel Lite and put some custom code into a callback so a new image appears every time. Put some click events on each item in the slide.

In jCarousel Lite, the callback works like this:

$("#slide").jCarouselLite({
       speed: 500,
       btnNext: "#next",
       btnPrev: "#prev",
       afterEnd: function(visible) {
             //some code goes here after the slides have stopped
      }
});

The key is that the (visible) variable has the three DOM nodes that are visible in the slide. This allows you to read any properties about them that you wish. If you name your large images in a uniform manner relative to the small slide images, you could easily switch out a large image by just reading the SRC attribute of the middle slide or whatnot.

Here's an example where I did something very similar to what you're after, if you care to dig through my code: http://wayfarerweb.com/portfolio.php
