Im building an online gallery. this is what ive got so far.

I know I need to make the images smaller but right now Im trying to figure out how to make the bubble animation play just once when you click on an option.

I dont want to make this more than one scene so I dont have to create navigation that will just confuse people anyway.

Im struggling with button actions obviously (sadly) or maybe I should be going about this another way. very frustrated at this point. cant find tutorials for this. any suggestions or directions to a tutorial would be much appreciated. thanks in advance
