Can I pause my project when the user clicks?

Question

Hello all,
I am working on a project using Cp4.
My project plays automatically without user interaction.
I need project to be paused when the user clicks on a clickbox at run time & it should play when the user again clicks the same clickbox.
I can pause the project by adding a clickbox and applying the property "pause the project until user clicks.
But it must be a user wish interaction whether to pause or play.
Is that possible ? How could I make my work done ?
Regards,

Hello,
I tried it out and it works all right. If you do not want a button, you can also replace this by a click box (that is invisible), perhaps covering up the whole slide and instruct the user just to click on the slide to pause or to 'un'-pause.
As for the construction of the Advanced action (do have a couple of tutorials, but they are for CP5):
Open the dialog box from Project Actions
Be sure to be on the tab Advanced Actions and choose Create a new action from the dropdown list
Name the action
Double click on the first statement, it has to become red
Use the spacebar to open a list, and choose Assignment
From the first dropdownlist choose Variable rdcmndPause
From the second list (after the =) choose Value
Type in 1 for the value
From the third list choose the minus sign
From the fourth, choose again Variable and from the list choose rdcmndPause
Save the action
It is a bit clumsy, but the result should look like this:
