More control over animation

[anonymous]

In some cases I want to stop an animation, dequeue or just end (get to the last step) an animation or a group of animations by type.

Ok, so this feature request is specifically looking for the addition of:

  .fxStop() // Pause an animation and dequeue it
  .fxPause() // Pause the animation at the current 'frame'
  .fxPlay() // Resume the current animation
  .fxStart() // Restart the animation from the first frame
  .fxEnd() // Move the animation to the last frame and dequeue it

or something similar. .dequeue() already exists, it would just need to be made "publicly" available.

..i had a need for such things many times (starting and stopping animations - especially stopping), so this feature would be very helpful.. i like the syntax above...

how would this actually work?

like this? ... $('aDiv').animate({left: 250px}, 'slow'); $('aDiv').fxEnd(); ...

also, wouldnt .fxRestart() be better than .fxStart()?

Any way to prevent any queued animations on a particular element would be great!

I would be very interested in this mod - basically I need to stop/cancel an animation before it has finished.

I also need a way to stop a queued animations for a given element.

Exactly what I actually need, after using jquery just a single day now

The way the interface plugin handles it worked for my most recent need of this feature. See: ​http://interface.eyecon.ro/docs/animate
