How to Display 3 Images, in order, after a Button Click

Question

I have 3 images I want to display one after the other after the user clicks a button in a Captivate 4 course.

I have turned off visibility and set image 1 to display after 0 secs, image 2 after 5 seconds and image 3 after 11 seconds.

In my advanced action script I have the following:

show image1

show image 2

show image 3

My thinking was that image1 will display for 5 seconds then image 2 will appear for 6 seconds then image3.. but all appear at the same time, why? Image 2 and image3 are set to appear AFTER 5 and 11 seconds respectively.

Alternatively, is there a way to implement a wait in advanced actions like so:

show image1

wait 5

show image2

wait 6

show image3

Thanks...

Hi thereUnfortunately I've not discovered a way to create a delay in the Advanced Actions. There may be a way, but I've not found it yet. But I'm thinking you are are overcomplicating the matter. You should have no need for Advanced Actions or clearing the Visibility of the image to do this.Perhaps your slide is 11 seconds long. You insert a Button with an action of "Continue". Pause at the one second mark. You then insert the three images. Configure them to simply appear at the correct time interval and disappear at the next time interval. The net result should be that the images aren't visible until the Button is clicked. Then they display one after the other.Below is what the timeline may look like in this scenario:Click the image below to see a clearer view.Cheers...
