You can add an event on the Events then in the Action tab, use custom action and write the custom javascript (call a pause on the current page and then add a javscript timer to play the current page from a specific label)
Keep in mind you should label the exact frame of the Event with some readable name.
The code will look some how like:

//1. stoping the timeline:
gwd.actions.timeline.pause('mypage');
//2.setting a timeout:
setTimeout(function(){
//3. going to specific label and play again(if the label is exactly over the event, then timeline will continue from the current position.
gwd.actions.timeline.gotoAndPlay('mypage', 'mylabel');
//4. make the call after 2000milisecond or 2 seconds.
}, 2000);

Hi, thx for the solution, but my script not work, mypage has a name "page1" and continue label r1. What im doing wrong?

This is my script

gwd.makeapause = function(event)
{
gwd.actions.timeline.pause('page1');
setTimeout(function() {
gwd.actions.timeline.gotoAndPlay('page1', 'r1');
}, 2000);

Hi roman,

Your script is correct. The problem is in the new release of Google Web Designer, using gwd.actions.timeline.pause('page1'); in custom actions does not work because of the missing animation runtime (please see this post). We are working on a fix for it. To workaround the issue, add a timeline pause event using the UI at a time outside of your animation so that the animation runtime is added for custom actions to work.

Right click on the Events layer at a time outside of your animation and select Add event, double click on the event market and add the timeline pause event.

I also attached the file.

Thanks,

San

One last question, the program updates itself, or I have to download it again?
Thx.

Using the same update mechanism as Chrome, it will update itself when you relaunch.

Hi Roman,

We just released an update to Google Web Designer that should fix the issue you were seeing. You no longer need to add a pause event in the timeline UI for pause to work in custom actions.

Thanks,

San
