Video in a fluid box

Hello everyone,

I know the thread's title doesn't refelct exactly of what is going to follow.

I have a fluid box which I split it in two vertical fluid boxes. The box on the left is split in three horizontal boxes and I inserted in each one a button. I left the right box empty in order to add a video. What I would like to do (and this is the part where the question comes up) is when I click "Button 1" then "Video 1" should start playing in the right box and so on. I should be able to click the buttons infinite times and obviously when I click one of them the respective video should start playing from the beginning.

Is this feasible in Captivate 2017?

If it was just text to show up instead of videos, it would be much easier. Paul Wilson has shared a video how to do this by changing each time the state of the text caption.

    You can use event videos in states as well. Only problem is that in a fluid box, you'll not see the right poster image in the Object State view (at least I don't see them) but when previewing the project, I am able to switch to another state and play another movie that way.

    I never post an answer without having double-checked. I had been using this workflow since multistate objects appeared.
