Inline for calling feedback screen in unreferenced objects

Dear colleagues,

I am having a strange problem using an inline code that refers to a
TextDisplay in unreferenced objects.

First I had a feedback TextDisplay between two blocklists (to show
mean performance after blocks) and it worked fine with these Inlines:

(1. Summation reset)
Set g_theSummationP = New Summation
Set g_theSummationPRT = New Summation

(2. summation each trial)
g_theSummationP.AddObservation mask2.Acc
g_theSummationPRT.AddObservation mask2.RT

(3. variable setting)
c.SetAttrib "BlockAccuracyP", Format(CStr(CDbl(g_theSummationP.Mean *
100)), "0.00")
c.SetAttrib "BlockRTP", Format(CStr(CDbl(g_theSummationPRT.Mean )),
"0.00")

And then there was Feedback (TextDisplay) with this content:
"Your result:

Mean Reaction Time:
[BlockRTP] ms

Correctness:
[BlockAccuracyP]%"


Well, that worked fine, I got feedback after each block. Now I wanted
Feedback more often, not only after blocklists, but after 48 trials.
So I used this Inline:

If c.GetAttrib(c.GetAttrib("Running") & ".Sample")  MOD 48 = 0 Then
	c.SetAttrib "BlockAccuracyP", Format(CStr(CDbl(g_theSummationP.Mean *
100)), "0.00")
	c.SetAttrib "BlockRTP", Format(CStr(CDbl(g_theSummationPRT.Mean )),
"0.00")
	TextDisplay2.InputMasks.Add Keyboard.CreateInputMask("{ANY}", "", CLng
(TextDisplay2.Duration), CLng("1"), ebEndResponseActionTerminate,
CLogical("Yes"), "", "", "ResponseMode:All ProcessBackspace:Yes")
	TextDisplay2.Run
	Set g_theSummationP = New Summation
	Set g_theSummationPRT = New Summation
	Set g_theSummationS = New Summation
	Set g_theSummationSRT = New Summation
End If


TextDisplay was in unreferenced objects. I was already using this
"trick" to insert a break (break display in unreferenced objects) in
order to have a break every X trials, independent of blocks etc.

Now what I get is that it is actually calling TextDisplay2 (which is
the feedback) but the screen is blank (that is no text, only
background can be seen). If I leave away the variables
[BlockAccuracyP] and [BlockRTP] it is working, though! Do I need to
specify variables in the inline when they are used in displays that
are in the unreferenced objects? If yes, how?

Thank you very much for you patience and potential help!
Cheers,
Tobias
