This demo shows how you can create a explode clip along different axies and play it then.

var sceneId = 'd3421755-7070-475d-84b6-b40b359b62ef';
var api = claraplayer('player');
var mode = document.getElementById('mode');
mode.options[0] = new Option('xyz', 'xyz');
mode.options[1] = new Option('xy', 'xy');
mode.options[2] = new Option('xz', 'xz');
mode.options[3] = new Option('yz', 'yz');
mode.options[4] = new Option('x', 'x');
mode.options[5] = new Option('y', 'y');
mode.options[6] = new Option('z', 'z');
mode.onchange = function() {
  if (!play.getAttribute('disabled')) create.removeAttribute('disabled');
};

var create = document.getElementById('create');

var back = document.getElementById('back');
var autoExplode;

api.sceneIO.fetchAndUse(sceneId);

    create.setAttribute('disabled', true);
    play.removeAttribute('disabled');
    var explodeMode = mode.options[mode.selectedIndex].value;
    autoExplode = api.player.createExplode(explodeMode);
    return;
