When Text_Entry data by user is incorrect!

I’m new to Captivate, and am using Captivate 7.  I have a text_entry box where I validate the user’s input.  On Success is working, but I cannot seem to get a simple text-caption to show for 3 seconds  if the user’s entry is incorrect. 

I have tried the following:

1.     In the Text_Entry  property “On Lost Focus”  I use “Show” and then chose my desired Text_Caption. This didn’t work.  The slide just sits there with the cursor blinking in the Text_Entry box.

2.     In the Text_Entry  property under

             “Action,”

"Attempt: 1”

“Last Attempt”      I  is select “Show” and then my desired Text_Caption. This didn’t work either.  The slide just sits there with the cursor blinking in the Text_Entry box. The Text Box never appears.  (Sometimes I get a submit button.)

3.     In the Text_Entry property “Options,” I select “Failure” and put my text in the “Failure_Caption”.  When I play the slide and input incorrect data, the slide just sits there with the cursor blinking in the Text_Entry box. The “Failure Box” never appears.  (Sometimes I get a submit button.)

What am I doing wrong?  This shouldn’t be so hard. HELP!
