Here is another example with pause/unpause animation: http://svg-whiz.com/svg/PausePlay.svg
You can also start the animation when some event takes place (e.g., the user clicks on an element). I can't point you to an on-line reference for this, but the following fragment shows how you do this in SVG (no Javascript required). I know that it works in ASVG3; I haven't checked other SVG viewers. <svg> ... <animate ... begin="controlRect.click" ... /> ... <rect id='controlRect' ... '/> ... </svg> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
