Animations only occur when an object appears or disappears, so you need to do something creative to create the illusion that you want. One thing you might do is to create an object. Create an exact duplicate and place it exactly on top of the first. Set the initial state of the second object to hidden. Create a trigger on the first object that changes the state of the second to normal when the user clicks the first object. You may need to set the state of object to hidden before you make the second object normal.
What kind of animations would you like to add to the object?
If it is one of the enter animations, here is the way; add the animation you want to the object and copy it, then create a new state, delete the object and paste the animated one.

Thank you Walt. I tried something like that but will try your suggestion. Thanks!
You can also do this with layers. Just have your spinning object appear above itself, and make sure that it hides itself on complete.
Hi Lynda,

Remove the animation from the Normal state.
Here is a gif showing it in action;
Thanks to you all for your suggestions. I found all to worked! However, the one from Richard, using layers, is the fastest!
Thanks again!
Glad to hear it Lynda :) Thanks for popping back in with an update.
