jQuery callback

Hi Experts,

I've got a situation where I'm doing some jquery image loading and want to halt my function until part of the processing is done. See  // I WANT TO PAUSE HERE... mid way down the code...

Anyone know how I should do this??

var diagnosticNext = $('#diagnostic-paging-panel > ul > li.numeric-paging-next-item');
                var goForward = $(diagnosticNext).hasClass('numeric-paging-active');
                var pageForward =  $('#diagnostic-paging-panel > ul > li.numeric-paging-next-item > a').attr('href');

                var diagnosticPrevious = $('#diagnostic-paging-panel > ul > li.numeric-paging-previous-item');
                var goBackward = $(diagnosticPrevious).hasClass('numeric-paging-active');
                var pageBackward =  $('#diagnostic-paging-panel > ul > li.numeric-paging-previous-item > a').attr('href');

                if(goForward || goBackward){
                
                    if(goForward) pageLoadLink = pageForward;
                    else pageLoadLink = pageBackward;

                    updatePaging(
                        pageLoadLink,
                        type,
                        function(data) {
                            diagnosticImages = data.DiagnosticImageDetails;
                            diagnosticImagesPagingPanel = data.DiagnosticImagePagingPanel;
                        },
                        function() {
                            return diagnosticImages;
                        },
                        function() {
                            return diagnosticImagesPagingPanel;
                        }
                    );

                  // I WANT TO PAUSE HERE UNTIL updatePaging() is finished...   
                  var image = images[imageIndex];
                }

function updatePaging(uri, imageType, updateData, getImages, getImagesPagingPanel) {
        $('#' + imageType + '-images-carousel .carousel-loading').children().remove();
        $('#' + imageType + '-images-carousel .carousel-loading').prepend(getAjaxLoadingMarkup(imageType + '-carousel-loading', 'Loading Images...'));
        $('#' + imageType + '-images-carousel .carousel-loading').show();
    
        $.getJSON(uri, function(data) {
            if (isSuccess(data, false)) {
                updateData(data);
                
                $('#' + imageType + '-images-carousel .carousel-tray ul').children().remove();
                
                for (var x = 0; x < getImages().length; x++) {
                    $('#' + imageType + '-images-carousel .carousel-tray ul').append('<li><div><span>' + getImages()[x].PageObject.Title + '</span></div><a href="#' + getImages()[x].PageObject.Id + '" id="image-' + imageType + '-' + getImages()[x].PageObject.Id + '"><img src="' + getImages()[x].PageObject.SmallImageFileName + '" alt="' + getImages()[x].PageObject.Title + '" width="120" height="90" /></a></li>\r\n');
                }
                
                setPagingPanelPage(getImagesPagingPanel().PreviousPage, '#' + imageType + '-images-carousel .numeric-paging-previous-item', 'Previous');
                setPagingPanelPage(getImagesPagingPanel().NextPage, '#' + imageType + '-images-carousel .numeric-paging-next-item', 'Next');
                
                for (var x = 0; x < getImagesPagingPanel().NumberedPages.length; x++) {
                    setPagingPanelPage(getImagesPagingPanel().NumberedPages[x], '#' + imageType + '-images-carousel .numeric-paging-page-item:eq(' + x + ')', diagnosticImagesPagingPanel.NumberedPages[x].PageNumber);
                }
            } else {

            }
            $('#' + imageType + '-images-carousel .carousel-loading').hide();
        });
    }
