Interrupt animation play black

OK, so I am using Synfig as a presentation tool (PowerPoint just don’t do it for me anymore).

If I want to have my animation stop at certain points (to wait for my mouse click to continue), the only way I can think of currently would be to create short animations instead of one big one, and use them as separate animations in a PowerPoint presentation (then I use PowerPoint as a vehicle to move from animation to animation).

Would there be an easier way?

Essentially I want my Synfig creation to play in full screen as if it is a ‘normal’ presentation but continue on my cue only.

You need to create your own interactive application that would run each animation based on each mouse click. It is not so difficult if you know a little of javascript.
Here is an example:
