Pausing an animation with Javascript

[handemmet]

Hi I have created an animation using sencha animator. In the animation I have several thumbnails that when I click on; it launches Shadowbox containing a video. My question is: Is it possible to pause my original animation when I click to open up the Shadowbox video iframe.............and then resume the animation when I close the Shadowbox iframe? I did a bit of reading up on this and the only thing I came accross was this<code>object.style.animationPlayState="paused"</code> But I don't know where to use it. I hope I have explained this without confusion. Thanks for your help RegardsEmmet

Do you have a link to the documentation for the parts of Sencha that you're using? If the Shadowbox is a Sencha component then it will have events for things like show, hide, close, etc that you can use to run the other code to stop or start the animation.
