if you just need a beep i might suggest using the built-in beep available on pcs.<div>after each slide that collects a mouse click you could write something like this:</div><div>If PreviousSlide.RESP <> "" Then Beep</div>
<div>i think that should work.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 3, 2011 at 9:29 AM, Becky Clements <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cobwebfaery@gmail.com">cobwebfaery@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
The experiment is a bit convoluted due to there being many contingency<br>
elements during the practice phase of each of the tasks. I am working<br>
on tidying it up but as a novice getting it to work is my current<br>
priority as I learn more I hope I will be able to streamline things.<br>
One thing I forgot to mention in my initial post which is probably<br>
quite important is that each of the slides has a unique audio file<br>
that is either instructions or feedback to the participant it is in<br>
addition to these audio files, which must be there, that I need there<br>
to be a beep when participants touch the screen. I was wondering if<br>
you knew anyway of having in the user script, which would cover all of<br>
the task with in the experiment I am designing, code to have a 'beep'<br>
when participants make a mouse response. Thanks for helping.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Becky<br>
