Question

Given my animation scene1. How can I pause it using a button named “Skip” using C# code behind, and play another animation scene2 after.

<Window.Resources>
    <Storyboard x:Key="scene1">
        <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.Opacity)" Storyboard.TargetName="whitebox">
            <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="1"/>
            <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1.7" Value="0"/>
        </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        <StringAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(TextBlock.Text)" Storyboard.TargetName="charName">
            <DiscreteStringKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:2" Value="Teacher"/>
            <DiscreteStringKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:7.8" Value="Teacher"/>
            <DiscreteStringKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:8" Value="Teacher"/>
        </StringAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment)" Storyboard.TargetName="charName">
            <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:2" Value="{x:Static HorizontalAlignment.Left}"/>
            <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:7.8" Value="{x:Static HorizontalAlignment.Left}"/>
            <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:8" Value="{x:Static HorizontalAlignment.Left}"/>
        </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames
        (too long… etc.)

In addition to Jeric Paul Calderon’s answer, there’s also pause function : storyBoard.Pause()
The main thing is that Pause() pauses the annimation at the current playback position, and Stop() does stop and returns to the starting point.
