Demo 1 demonstrates how to call the described method inside callback function onSlideOpened() (the protocol is the same for all callback functions). jQuery object (active slide) returned by the described method is used to change border of active slide. The method is called when onSlideOpened() is triggered.

Note: You can gain direct access to active slide in callbacks onSlideOpened(), onSlideStartOpening() and onSlideStartClosing() as you can read in section called "Event properties" in description of these callbacks. There is no need to call the described method in the mentioned callbacks, the demonstration was created just to prove that it's possible.
