Scrollable: how to stop and play scrollable functionality Created Jul 14, 2009

var sc = $("div.scrollable").scrollable({
  // make api accessable
  api: true
});

function myfunc() {
  // disable scrolling by pressing arrow keys
  sc.getConf().keyboard = false;
  // you MIGHT get away without the next line, please test
  sc.reload();
  // do your script stuff ...
  // afterwards reset arrow key functionality for scrollable
  sc.getConf().keyboard = true;
  // again, only insert following line if needed
  sc.reload();
}

$(function() {		
		// initialize scrollable 
		var sc = $("div.scrollable").scrollable({
				api: true,
				size: 5,
				items: '#thumbs',  
				hoverClass: 'hover',
