InDesign Buttons Fail to Launch

Question

I'm struggling with InDesign buttons.  I am attemping to hide an answer under one button, and reveal it by clicking on another following these steps.
I created the No. 1 as the button to click and reveal the response to the right of it.
I created a text box for the text to the right of the No. 1
Created the larger text box half hidden by the photo I have pulled to the left, which will be revealed when the 1 is clicked
Created the photo as a "cover" over the text box
Clicked on the single line of text, created a button with the characteristics
on release
normal
clicked the check box "hidden until triggered"
Clicked on the large text box and created a button with the following characteristics
on release
normal
clicked the check box "hidden until triggered"
Clicked on the 1 and created a button with the following characteristics:
on release
show or hide
single line of text
normal
on click
animation
created an animation to fly in from right
on click
on click
show or hide
large text box
click
Clicked on the photo and created a button with the following characteristics
on release
show or hide
large text box
normal
on click
animation
created animation for photo to fade out
click
When I preview the animation, the large text box never appears. I had the same problem to begin with, with the single line of text, and the fix was to change from flying in from the right to fade in. 
I spend hours every time I start one of these "animations," and sometimes I find the choices I made changed after I left the menu; other times, I find it will work if I select a different animation; sometimes, I wait until the next day and start it all over.  It's really frustrating.  I have yet to get the "swoosh" animation to work. Has anyone encountered these same problems? 
I'm a very new user, but I have watched every YouTube and read every tutorial I can find on these buttons. Nothing seems to be helping.
I appreciate any help you can give me!
Thanks.
