InDesign Buttons Fail to Launch

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.
