I would like the ability to have more control over the chart animation - specifically for a series (line) chart, including rewind, forward and pausing (pausing being the most important).

I posted in the main help forum about the progress I've made 'hacking' the code. I THINK jquery fx object & the clippath width are key, but still no 'triumph' (http://forum.highcharts.com/highcharts-usage/pausing-rewinding-resuming-series-animation-t32042/)

I am working with a graph that is superimposed over a html5 video (flowplayer to be precise), the graph and movie need to be 'in synch' because the graph represents people's opinion of that part of the movie (i.e. second '3' of the video coincides with x-coord '3', which shows the average rating at this point).

I would like to be able to use the video controls and keep the chart animation 'in synch'... Frankly, if I do achieve it, I would gladly share w/ the community.

I can think of other reasons people might want more control of animation, i.e. like perhaps a scatter graph that shows trends over time (i.e. the dots move as the animation progresses, and you want to see it at a certain timeframe)....
