Can I rock an "else if" in advanced actions.

Question

Hey all,
Is there a way to add an "else if" statement to conditional actions in the captivate advanced actions dialogue?
The if>then>else is obvious but I want if>then>else if>then>else.  And I don't want to have to build a widget or write JS if I can avoid it.  If I do have to dust off my limited JS skillz, can you point me to a quick/easy tut on using the "execute JS" window re: accessing CP and user variables etc.
Thanks in advance

LIlybiri,
Thanks for the quick response as always.  First, I'm in Cap 7.  I'm making a basic unit conversion slide using the dropdown widget and text entry box.
I've given the dropdown the var name "convertFrom" and the text entry box the var named "convertNum."  There are three possible selections in the dropdown (XXXX, YYYY, and ZZZZ) and three labels reference variables and will change once you hit the go button: $$displayXXXX$$ $$displayYYYY$$ and $$displayZZZZ$$.
normally I'd do an:
if (convertFrom = XXXX){
  do math;}
else if (convertFrom = YYYY){
  do math;}
else if (convertFrom = ZZZZ){
  do math;}
What would you suggest that gives me the flexibility to publish both a swf and html5 lesson (which is why I want to keep it in advanced actions).
