Need help with a Click Box activity in Captivate 5

I am having problems making this (simple) activity work correctly.   Basically, I am trying to allow the user to click on each click box (if necessary) until they choose the correct answer.  Right now, when I run it in the browser it is not showing the success and failure captions when I click on each item so there is no indication that I've clicked a right or wrong answer.  I just click away and nothing happens. The click boxes are in front of the text.  Any thoughts?

Here's what I have:

Click box settings:

Thanks,

Bibi

    Hi there

    Looks like they all have the same default "Continue" action? This means if they are clicked, the playhead simply continues.

    Likely you need to explore using Advanced Actions that will present captions and reposition the playhead.

    Not comfortable with Advanced Actions.     Maybe there's another approach that I am missing?  A simpler way to get this activity across?  All I need is for each term to create a success (or failure) caption as the learner clicks it.  Then, when they find the right answer (success) they can click the Next button to move to the following screen.  Maybe Click Boxes isn't the way to go?  I'm trying to replace the client's current drag and drop activity.

    Thanks!

    Hello again

    Well, since you aren't really penalizing for incorrect clicks, why not consider just using Rollover Captions? They would mouse over and the caption would show. The only difference is that they wouldn't click.
