which object clicked

I have a slide in PowerPoint.
I have placed six icon objects on it. The shapes are named from 1 to 6.
I want to be able to run one sub routine and when the user clicks on any of
the icon objects 1-6 ... the sub routine will take note of which time the
person has clicked (in other words is it the first click on that object
since they have arrived at this slide or the third, etc. - but don't worry
about that part).
What would the script be to say:

If object number 1 is clicked with the mouse in a PowerPoint SlideShow Kiosk
Then
show object # 12.
Else if object clicked is number 2 (depending on how many times it has been
clicked) Then
show object #20
etc, etc.

I just don't know the statement for what has been clicked. I could write a
macro for each item clicked but I want the slide to run one macro to make it
neater. In other words, the subroutine will start when a start button on
another slide is clicked to take us to this new slide.

Eventually I would like to have the program able to determine which slide
and which object and which time the person clicked and deliver the correct
text object each time.

I hope someone understands what I'm talking about. I don't know if this is
possible, but I know many of you in this group are super gurus... so if
anyone knows, you will. I appreciate any help.

Good . Thank you. I was reading in that general vicinity and got stuck with
two of the programs that worked in 2002 but do not on my 2003 PPT. Well,
I'll keep working and hopefully I'll have it licked next time we
communicate.
Stay well and have a great holiday.
