Interactive animations and hover effects

Hello, I'm an Adobe Captivate newbie who is trying to understand the limitations of this software. I'm primarily interested in whether or not I can recreate 'fancy' hover/mouse over events in Captivate 9 using Flash or Animate Edge, for example. I have already attempted to import a 3D flip card hover effect made in Flash that was to be used for a memory game, however the animation file failed to load. Was there a problem with the ActionScript? Should I have created it as a Widget? Or are these kinds of interactive features not supported in Captivate?

Thank you for your help!

How did you import the Flash animation and what publishing output were you using?

Did you test the published output locally on your PC or did you try uploading to a web server and testing from there?

Hi, I imported the animation file by selecting Media > Animation. I tested the output locally, as well as on a web browser. I also downloaded a demo file containing a similar 3D flip card effect to test to see if there was simply something wrong with my coding, however that demo file went haywire when I tried to play it in Captivate - it was very strange. My animation just doesn't show and a quick error message pops up that is hard to read. I do feel as though what I created isn't compatible with Captivate.

Hi again. I created a new animation using TweenLite and it actually works! The card flips when the user clicks on it, however, I also would like for a textbox to appear when the user completes this action. Is that possible using advanced actions?
