Resume flexslider after touch/swipe

Question

Is there any way to resume the auto-playing of a Flexslider slideshow after a touch event? Right now it appears that once I swipe to navigate, the slideshow stops..

UPDATE FOR FLEXISLIDER 2

The resume() event are no longer exist, the correct solution is using the after callback and use the event after in the initialization

$('.flexslider').flexslider(
    ...
    after: function(slider){ 
        slider.pause(); 
        slider.play(); 
    }
);

Take a look here: https://github.com/woothemes/FlexSlider/issues/21

The question has been asked before, and the answer is that it is possible to do what you're asking, however, it is a specific part of the design of the slider that it stops on a touch event, simply for better usability.
