Executing Advanced Action in the Middle of a Drag & Drop Interaction

Is there a way to execute an advanced action in the middle of a drag and drop interaction? I created the advanced action on success of completion of the drag and drop, but I need it to execute on success of one of the darg sources being dropped to the target.

I need the the drag source to disappear once it hits the drag target and have a new image appear..

Any advice?

To have it disappear is easy: look at the snapping behavior of the drop target, set size and/or Alpha to 0 and the dropped image will disappear.

As for another iimage appearing: use the object action to do so. What is the purpose of that new image?

Look at: Drag&Drop tips - Captivate blog

I just pulbished a movie about Shared actions. There is a slide with Srag&Drop, which uses object actions to show feedback for each drag action: The drop source disappears with the workflow I mentioned above.

Thank you, I was able to make the image dissapear, but still working on a new one appearing. The purpose is I actually need the image being dropped to rotate 180 degrees once it is dropped, but I was not sure that would be possible
