<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I think what you’re looking for here (possibly in both
posts) is colon notation. If you want a second picture from the same
nested list, you’ll want to do [Picture:1] rather than just [Picture]
twice. The number after the colon is the number of the sample you
want. (Because E-Prime was written by programmers, [Picture] and
[Picture:0] are the same thing.)</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hello all,<br>
<br>
I have this predicament. I'm running a recognition memory experiment (similar
to the StudyRecall example) that is a little bit complicated. I have several
lists of stimuli all nested within the Study List.<br>
<br>
What we have looks something like this:<br>
StudyList (randomly shuffle)<br>
-Nested category 1<br>
-Nested category 2<br>
- ...<br>
-Nested category 16<br>
<br>
Each nested category contains 9 pictures - within the [Picture] attribute is
the picture filename.<br>
<br>
I need to randomly select 2 pictures from each nested category and get their
filenames so I can write them to a recall list.<br>
<br>
Now, I can't do context referencing for this. While
c.GetAttrib("Picture") will successfully get a picture at the same
level, I need to get TWO pictures from the same nested category, and if I jump
levels, it will jump to another nested category.<br>
<br>
I thought that maybe I could declare a string variable that takes on the
category name, so I wrote something like this:<br>
<br>
dim CatName As String<br>
CatName = Categories.GetAttrib(counter, "Nested")<br>
RecallList.setAttrib counter, "Stimulus", CatName.GetAttrib(counter,
"Picture")<br>
RecallList.setAttrib counter + 1, "Stimulus",
CatName.GetAttrib(counter + 1, "Picture")<br>
<br>
The only problem is that when I generate the script, it tells me that CatName
must be a valid object in order to reference.<br>
<br>
Is there any way I can have a variable reference a list object?<br>
<br>
Any tips to point me in the right direction would be supremely helpful. Thanks!<br>
<br>
Adam<br>
