Play Animation Button [SOLVED]

[djeustice]

I received a model of a tractor / crane arm.  It is boned and animated.  I exported this crane arm out of 3DS Max as a glTF.  When I import it into BabylonJS, the animation begins playing immediately.  I would like import the crane arm and not have the animation play immediately.  I have a "Play" button and I'd like the animation to start from frame 0 when clicked.  I'd like the animation to stop and return back to frame 0 when the button is clicked again.   Is creating a Play / Stop animation button fairly basic (loader.beginAnimation())?  Do I have to work with skeletons?  Below is my code:

    var loader = BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("", "models/", "CraneArm.gltf", scene, function (newMeshes)  {  
    });     
 
    document.getElementById("AddOars").addEventListener("click",function () {   
    });

Beautiful model

Just go through all your meshes and call scene.stopAnimation(mesh)

Wonderful thank you!  I'll try this out and report back my results.

The animation button works now!  This is the code I ended up with:

    var isAnimating = false;
    var meshesForAnimation = null;    
    BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("", "test/", "Crane.gltf", scene, function (newMeshes)  { 
        for (i = 0; i < newMeshes.length; i++) {
            scene.stopAnimation(newMeshes);
            isAnimating = false;
        }
        meshesForAnimation = newMeshes;
    });

    document.getElementById("Button").addEventListener("click",function () {
        if(!meshesForAnimation){
            return;
        }
        if (!isAnimating)
        {
        for (i = 0; i < meshesForAnimation.length; i++) {
            scene.beginAnimation(meshesForAnimation, 0, 300, true); 
      }
      isAnimating = true;
       }
       else
       {
          for (i = 0; i < meshesForAnimation.length; i++) {
            scene.stopAnimation(meshesForAnimation, 0, 300, true);               
          }
          isAnimating = false; 
       }
    });

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
