pause( )

Pauses playback.

Description

The pause() function pauses a slideshow or playable gallery and fires a pause event.

The pause event handlers set on this element by the onPause( ) function or in the Editor are called.

Notes:
When using pause() on a gallery, make sure the gallery is one where the isPlayable capability is true.
If you change a gallery's type to one that doesn't support pause(), your code may no longer function correctly.
