Convert jQuery snippit to work in noConflict mode

I am trying to incorporate jScroller ticker into a WordPress site but having problems with the noConflict code.

The docs give the following example code:

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function(){

  // Add Scroller Object
  $jScroller.add("#scroller_container","#scroller","left",1);

  // Start Autoscroller
  $jScroller.start();
 });
</script>

As jQuery in WordPress runs in "no conflict" mode, I tried converting this to:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  // Add Scroller Object
  $jScroller.add("#news-ticker","#tickercontainer","left",1);

  // Start Autoscroller
  $jScroller.start();
 });

The error console in Firefox says "$ is not a function" for the code in the jScroller file (it is packed so I cannot figure exactly what code is causing the problem).

Can I fix this with my code or would the jScroller code have to be changed?

Aside, I was using liScroll but it seems to be CPU intensive.
