Closing only particular FancyBox when having multiple Fancybox - fancybox

Question

In a given page, I have multiple instances of Fancybox items that will show up an video when clicked on a link.
Apart from those, I have a function running every 5 seconds to get data from a URL and display another fancybox based on the return value.
The problem is that, as the setInterval function runs always, even if the actual video is played, it closes that video as I use $.fancybox.close().
All I wanted is to close only the fanybox identified by myModal.
This is the jQuery that I use.
$(document).ready(function() {
function myplugin() {
$.getJSON("get-status.php", function (data) {
$.each(data, function (key, status) {
if(status > 0) {
$("#myModal").fancybox().click();
}else{
$.fancybox.close(); // Works. But closes other open Fancybox if any
//$("#myModal").fancybox().close(); // Does not work
}
});
});
};
$(function() {
setInterval(function() { myplugin() }, 5000);
});
});

Well, I am not completely sure I understood your question, however since it's not very easy to know if #myModal is currently opened in fancybox (outside of the fancybox function itself), I would create a flag or switch that would be enabled from within a fancybox callback IF #myModal is the current element opened.
Then, from myplugin() I would validate if the switch is true (#myModal is the current element) and if so, close fancybox.
The script would look something like this (not tested because I don't really know what myplugin() does) :
// declare a switch to set if #myModal is open in fancybox
var myModal = false;
$(document).ready(function () {
function myplugin() {
$.getJSON("get-status.php", function (data) {
$.each(data, function (key, status) {
if (status > 0) {
$("#myModal").fancybox({
// use a callback to set the switch = true
afterShow: function () {
$(this.element).attr("id") == "myModal" ? myModal = true : myModal = false;
}
}).click();
} else {
// close fancybox if myModal == true
if (myModal) {
$.fancybox().close();
myModal = false; // reset switch ?
}
}
});
});
};
// you don't need $(function(){ }); since you have declaread .ready() above
setInterval(function () {
myplugin()
}, 5000);
});

I tried this below one and it worked.
$("#myModal").parents("div .fancybox-skin").hide();
Please advice if there any other better way to do this.
