Flexslider thumbnail navigation doesn't work.

I'm using flexslider in views. Both the slider and thumbnails are appearing and mostly working as expected. However the behavior that I wanted was to have the ability to show only one row of thumbnails with a left right arrow as I see in the demo on woothemes, http://flexslider.woothemes.com/thumbnail-slider.html . Instead if more thumbnails exist than the container width allows, flexslider starts a new row below the first row of thumbnails. I want the thumbnail row to work as a carousel.

Is there something I've overlooked? If the functionality does not yet exist in drupal's flexslider implementation of the library, is there some way I can work around the current deficiency until flexslider accomodates the library's function for this behavior??

BTW: I tried the Flexslider example module, too. Because it would be helpful, but it is not working either.

Thanks,

Carl
