Multiple Dropdown Interactions on a Slide

Hi,

I am using Captivate 9 and am wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have multiple dropdown learning interactions on a slide with the results of a dropdown dependent on the option selected in the prior?

e.g if 'Colour' is selected from dropdown 1 then dropdown 2 would show a list of colours, however if 'Location was selected from dropdown 1 then dropdown 2 would show a list of locations etc.

I have a series of four dropdowns to incorporate into a slide.

Any ideas or assistance would be appreciated.

It depends on the output: more is possible for SWF-output because you can control the display of the dropdown interactions. Have a look at:

I have previously done somethinng similar to this (multiple inter-related drop-down lists on a single slide) but I didn't use Learning Interactions or widgets to achieve it.  I used Conditional Advanced Actions and lots of Variables.

It's possible, but it's not simple to pull off.
