<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello again,<BR>
It was suggested that I (further) search the archives to answer my Contingency Looping question (revised and abridged below). I have now searched the archive using the terms:<BR>
(Contingency or Contingent), (Loop or Looping), Input, Response, .RESP, (InLine or (IN Line)), (Slide or (Slide object)), (Animate or Animation), and I went through week by week for a few months. I also received and searched "VBA for Dummies), to no avail.<BR>
Does anyone, by any chance, either have a posting in mind that might address my problem or have a response to my questions? Thank you for any help you might be able to provide to me.<BR>
Take care,<BR>

PS the Main frame computer can't spell my name correctly with a lower case "v"<BR>

~~~~~~~~~ORIGINAL MESSAGE~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>
RE Contingency looping<BR>
>>...I'm hoping someone can direct me to the most effective<BR>
way of accomplishing a contingency loop. My situation is as follows:<BR>
My goal is ...(2) to have participant input determine the follow-up<BR>
sequencing of a set of bitmaps presented in a Slide....When the participant responds at any given point in the original sequence (say, when two lines seem to be the same length) and the flow is redirected (Jumps to a Label?) to a customized sequence based on the point at which the response occurred.<BR>
The new sequence, for example, might start at a point a few images further along in the sequence (when the two lines are clearly not the same length) and back-up to (and beyond) the point of the user's first input. (Or, conversely, back up a few images and redisplay the same sequence).<BR>
...I've got a List that repeatedly calls a Proc with a Slide Object set up with a generic image holder on a single slide. The List specifies (calls) the original sequence of bitmaps.<BR>
I have failed to solve the second part of this task, even though I<BR>
attempted to write InLine objects with different sequences. I can make it vary the sequence using <Set> and <ExplicitOrder>, but I don't know how to tell it "start with this bitmap, on the basis of user input", I can't seem to control the flow correctly, and I can't seem to get the Slide to actually take the user input and jump...<<<BR>
