How stop Map while zooming in or out when a user press escape key?

[Muhammad_Abdul_HadiMuhammad_Ab]

Hi,
I am trying to stop Map while zooming in or out when a user press escape key but unable to do so.
I am using Javascript API v2.6 as well as all layers are either Dynamic or Feature Layers.
Please note that I am not using any tiled layer neither Navigation Toolbar.

  I slowed the zoom animation of a map, attached functions to onZoom, onZoomStart and onZoomEnd events. Checked the onkeydown event for escape key.

                //Modify zoom animation to ridiculous duration and rate For demonstration purpose only
                 esriConfig.defaults.map.zoomDuration = 5000; 
                esriConfig.defaults.map.zoomRate = 100; 

                //Attach Function to onZoom, onZoomEnd and onZoomStart
                dojo.connect(map, "onZoom", DuringZoomProcess);
                dojo.connect(map, "onZoomEnd", ZoomProcessEnd);
                dojo.connect(map, "onZoomStart", ZoomProcessStart);

                // Attach Escape Key
                var key_event_handle = dojo.isIE ? dojo.query('body')[0] : window;
                dojo.connect(key_event_handle, "onkeydown", function(evt) {
                  if (evt.keyCode == dojo.keys.ESCAPE) {
                    map.infoWindow.hide();
                    // If Escape key is pressed and extentDuringZoom is not undefined or null
                    if(extentDuringZoom){
                        //Zoom to extentDuringZoom
                        map.setExtent(extentDuringZoom);
                    }
                  }
                });

    ZoomProcessStart: function(extent, zoomFactor, anchor, level) {
        //Clear extentDuringZoom
        mapControl.extentDuringZoom = null;
  },
    ZoomProcessEnd: function(extent, zoomFactor, anchor, level) {
        //When Zoom Ends we no longer need extentDuringZoom 
        mapControl.extentDuringZoom = null;
  },
    DuringZoomProcess: function(extent, zoomFactor, anchor) {
        //Get Current Zoom Extent
        mapControl.extentDuringZoom = extent;
  },

Using console messages I found out that
1. When user zooms in a Zoom Animation is started from Zoom Extent A to Zoom Extent B.
2. If a user presses escape key at Zoom Extent C the map stops there but does not load the map correctly.
3. If user re sizes the map or browser map is loaded at Zoom Extent B i.e. the initial target zoom rather than the latter one.

Is there any way to stop first zoom animation and then start the other zoom animation?

see the following log messages for the scenario
