Captivate 9 Animation Triggers

Hello.  I have an interaction that involves shooting an arrow.  In the interaction, users will be asked a question.  Based on the color-coded box the user chooses, I want to display the animation of an arrow flying to that target, either missing it (if incorrect), or shattering it (if correct).

Not sure if my brain is fried, but I'm stuck.  I've included a screenshot to help reference what I'm trying.Arrow interaction

Thank you.

    Turn your color coded shapes into buttons. Before writing out the shared or advanced action, first test which effects you'll have to use to reach your goal, probably a motion path followed by one of the exit or emphasis category. I would save the combination of the effects with their timing as a custom effect because you'll probably will adapt the motion path. Then you can apply that effect by a simple or a shared action triggered by the Success event of the shape buttons.

    Thank you so much!  Advanced actions were the ticket!  They were a bit above me on my learning curve, but I'm there now!
