By creating more menus, and enabling and disabling them: 

\defineinteractionmenu[first][right][state=start,distance=overlay]

\startinteractionmenu
.... 
\stopinteractionmenu

You can define many menus, and stack or overlay them, turn them on and off
etc.

\startmode[*interaction]

....

\stopmode

\startnotmode[*interaction]

\stopnotmode

The * modes are system ones, in this case a mode obeying interaction mode.
But in your case I would use: 

[screen] 

and run texexec with --mode=screen
