    Do you want HTML5 output or SWF output?

    Do you want to try the solution proposed by TLCMediaDesign? I am not sure at all that it will work for SWF output.

    If you want to keep to Captivate, you would need JS anyway to generate a random number. Then use a conditional advanced action to show the image corresponding to that random number. Generating random numbers in Captivate is explained in this blog post:

    You could do a nice presentation with effects using jQuery cycle. You would need to create an HTML page with the images and zip it all together.

    Insert as an HTML5 animation initially hidden, then show it with the button.

    This is a sample of a page that does what you want. Just name your image "one", "two" and so on.

    <!doctype html>

    <html>

    <head>

    <title></title>

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.cycle2/2.1.6/jquery.cycle2.js"></script>

    <style>

    #pics {

    margin: 0 auto;

    width: 968px;

    height: 248px;

    }

    </style>

    <script>

    $(window).load(function()

    {

    $('#pics').cycle({

        fx      : 'fade',

        speed   : 1000,

    random  : true,

    timeout : 1000

    });

    });

    </script>

    </head>

    <body>

    <div id="pics">

    <img src="one.png" alt="" width="968" height="248">

    <img src="two.png" alt="" width="968" height="248">

    <img src="three.png" alt="" width="968" height="248">

    <img src="four.png" alt="" width="968" height="248">

    </div>

    </body>

    </html>
