In line problems

[Leisha Wharfield]

I think that, similar to Elizabeth Smith's question regarding a score 
bar, you need to use a global attribute. Global attributes supersede 
individual procedures, so you can keep them going throughout your entire 
experiment. You need to View the Script, then establish your attribute 
in the User tab. For example,

Dim Trial as integer

Then keep that in-line object that is adding Trial + 1 to Trial after 
each trial. Then your If Trial = 98 should work.

(Unless you are already using a global attribute, in which case this 
advice won't help as much as I'd hoped.)
