save jquery selector result into array

Question

I'm trying to save a jquery selector's result into an array so I can reference each element later.

I tried this...

var found_slides = []; //create the array to hold selector results

found_slides = $(".slide"); //run the selector and store results

var current_slide = found_slides.length - 1; //find the last slide

found_slides[current_slide].fadeOut(2500); //fade out the last slide, reveals next one

Currently, it's not letting me run any JQuery functions on the array instances. What is the correct way to store and reference JQuery selector results?

Thank you.

var $slides       = $(".slide"),
    current_slide = $slides.length - 1;

$slides.eq( current_slide ).fadeOut(2500);

The problem is on the last line, it should be:

$(found_slides[current_slide]).fadeOut(2500);
