GIF animations are not interactive. There may be software that 
lets you do what you want, but I'm not aware of any program that 
does that. You can set the timing on individual frames of the 
animation so that it pauses at particular points for a specified 
time, but beyond that, I don't think you will find what you want 
in GIF.
