InDesign CC snippets - activate two animations with one trigger event

I would like to trigger two animations on a single on-click(Self) event.  This will be a box once clicked on a image fades in and the box's text changes.  I can't convert the box into a button because they don't work very good on mobile.  The way I was thinking about doing this is, exporting the two animations as a snippet and combining the two animations with one trigger event.  I'm not quite sure on how to link the two animations to the same trigger event.

Could you be a little more detailed as to what you want to do.

I am creating a interactive organizational chart that can be viewed on desktop and mobile device.  When a box on the chart gets clicked on, the box's job title will change to employee name and date of hire.  At the same time a picture of the employee will fade-in to the right of the box and grow.  After 3 secs the box resets so it can be clicked again (the image will shrink left, fade-out and the box will show the job title again). 

So far the only way I could think of that will work on both desktop and mobile devices is using InDesign CC publish online.  I tried using buttons but they don't seem to be very responsive on android sometime require double or triple tabs to trigger event.
