I have a drag and drop, and on success, I would like create an advanced action to do the following:

Show Text Caption (Correct)

and then

Go to next slide

How would I do this?

If you are on Captivate 9 (always good to mention the version you use), you have first to decide how long the text has to remain on the slide? I will use 'x' for that time in seconds. The advanced action will then look like this:

    Show Tx_feedbackj

    Delay Next Actions by x seconds

    Go to Next Slide

If you are not on CP9, you'll not see the command 'Delay Next Actions...'. In that case you'll have to use the timeline: make the Text timeline to start at the pausing point of the D&D slide (check Timing panel, because it is not visible on the Timeline for D&D), have it set to Display for the rest of the slide and extend the timeline of the slide so that the text appears for a sufficient time. In that case you can use 'Continue' as command for the Success event.

Thank you!!!  This worked.  Also, thank you for including directions for both version 9 and 8.  I currently have version 8 but will be upgrading to nine soon.
