Display element only if other elements have been clicked or rolled over (Captivate 5)

Question

Hello
I am trying to find a way to display a text caption IF the users have rolled-over all the elements in my slide. Is it possible?
I had a look at the variables but it doesn't seem to be that.
Cheers

Hello,
The eventhandler widget is great if you do want to go with Rollover captions or Rollover images. Because those objects do not have the possibility to have an action attached to. If you use a rollover slidelet, it is possible to trigger an action on rollover and on click, that way you could increment a user variable.
The idea shortly is this:
Hide the text caption that will have to show up
Either create a user variable (counter) that will be incremented on first click or rollover an element; to be able to check if the element has already been clicked or had a rollover create another user variable for each element set initially to 0, it will be changed to 1 when clicked/rollover
For each action (will have to be an advanced action) attached to the rollover slidelet you'll have to check several things:
has this already been visited (rollover or click) by checking the associated element variable; if not increment the user variable (counter) and set the associated element variable to 1
check the counter (important that this check is done after the first one): if it has reached the maximum (all elements visited), show the text caption; if not just continue (or no action, depends on what is happening else on the slide).
I have been blogging about similar use cases, not exactly this one.
