Another animation problem!

I have path animations and various show object actions attached to a button.
I need to be able to stop/reset these animations at will (probably by using another button which replaces the first once the animation is running).

However, I don't seem to be able to stop the animations.
The button I use does everything else I want it to - hides various objects, etc., but it won't stop a path animation!

I notice that on the "Stop Animation" tab that Path Animation is not listed.

Has anyone any ideas on this. please?

Chris,

you will find an example of Steve's animation pause/stop feature at Chris Jones' web site in the Ilm/Opus section, titled: Animation Path Pause

Thanks Leo, I've downloaded that example and I'll have a play around.
My problem seems to be stopping and resetting.

More specifically, it seems that if after pressing a button you have delayed actions, then they'll be anticipated and will continue despite having reset the animation.

Anyone at DW got any thoughts?

If I set in train animation actions with delays, is there any way I can use a button to stop the activity and reset before all the actions have taken place or started (without resetting the page!)?
