Texture animation pause or stop

Questions
1

I created a loop animation for texture, now i want to stop can anyone suggest how to stop this when click on button.

BABYLON.Texture.prototype.animateVOffset = function (
  propValue,
  animSpeed,
  shouldLoop
) {
  var ease = new BABYLON.CubicEase();
  ease.setEasingMode(BABYLON.EasingFunction.EASINGMODE_EASEINOUT);

  textureAnimation = new BABYLON.Animation(
    "at4",
    "vOffset",
    animSpeed,
    BABYLON.Animation.ANIMATIONTYPE_FLOAT,
    BABYLON.Animation.ANIMATIONLOOPMODE_CYCLE
  );

  var keys = [];
  keys.push({
    frame: 0,
    value: this.vOffset,
  });
  keys.push({
    frame: 120,
    value: propValue,
  });

  textureAnimation.setKeys(keys);

  this.animations = [];
  this.animations.push(textureAnimation);

  if (shouldLoop) {
    scene.beginAnimation(this, 0, 120, true);
  } else {
    scene.beginDirectAnimation(this, [textureAnimation], 0, 120, false);
  }
};

Without any more info. This would be my approach:

if (shouldLoop) {
    this.animatable = scene.beginAnimation(this, 0, 120, true);
  } else {
    this.animatable = scene.beginDirectAnimation(this, [textureAnimation], 0, 120, false);
  }

In my GUI button onClickObservable:

if(myTexture.animatable)  myTexture.animatable.stop()

@Takemura is there any function for to play the animation???

function pauseAnimationFlow() {
  firstCurrent = scene.getTextureByName('my-texture1'); 

  if (firstCurrent && firstCurrent.animatable) {
    firstCurrent.animatable.stop();
  }

}
function resumeAnimationFlow() {
  firstCurrent = scene.getTextureByName('my-texture1'); 
  if (firstCurrent && firstCurrent.animatable) {
    firstCurrent.animatable.play();
  }
}

because play is not working in this case and i run the resume when pause button first clicked then resume will run

Uncaught TypeError: firstCurrent.animatable.play is not a function

Instead of stop() you might want to use pause(), if you want to resume. Then it should work to resume with restart(). The stop()-function resets to animation key frame 0.
