Effects question

This may be a silly question, but I'm trying to apply an Entrance effect on an object that has already executed an Exit effect. It that possible?  Originally, I programed two image buttons to hide themselves and show the other when clicked. 

 So I thought I would get fancy and instead of showing and hiding, I would use the Fly Out and Fly In effects instead. So when you click on the first image button, it flies out  to the bottom to reveal some text and then via a variable it checks to see if the second image button is visible, if not then it should Fly in. And  visa versa for the other button. However, I can get them to fly out, but they will not fly back in.

So I'm guessing it's not possible to execute an entrance effect on an object that has already executed an exit effect due to the timeline? Is that correct or am I just not using the proper commands?

    Could I have more details? Which version (exact number) are you using? Is your goal HTML5 or SWF output, and how did you test?

    Can you post a screenshot of the advanced actions used to apply the effects? Did you edit the motion path? Normally effects are always relative to the present position. If you tell me the exact setup, could try to give you a solution.

    I'm using captivate 2017. It's for HTML 5 output. I actually tried it out another way. I programmed an advanced action on a button, called Exit. It programed to execute a Fly Out To Bottom on an image when the it is clicked and I programmed another button, called Enter,  to perform a Fly In From Bottom on the same object when it's clicked. Once the image button flies out, I cannot get it to fly in.

     

    Unfortunately, I can seem to add a picture but it's a single line advanced action for each button using Apply Effect.

    Please, post a screenshot of the actions, and of the timeline.
