text displays, durations and sounds

Sofia,

Nice question.  You can superimpose or overlay a sequence of stimuls 
objects (TextDisplay, ImageDisplay, SoundOut, Slide) by judicious use 
of stimulus object Frame properties (Width, Height, X & Y Position, 
XAlign & YAlign), BackStyle, ClearAfter, and Duration.  Note that 
each stimulus object in the sequence could also have its own Input 
Mask, which could make for some interesting subject input options 
(and don't forget about Extened Input, as covered in Appendix C of 
the User's Guide that comes with E-Prime).  I threw together a little 
program to demonstrate this, which I will send you separately (or if 
someone can send me instructions, I will add my demo to the files on 
the Google Group site).

(BTW, if Harold Mouras is still tuned in, this answers a question 
that you posted back on 24 Jun 2008 under the heading "Surimposition 
of several images under e prime", which has been in my todo pile since then.)


>I would also like to have each text display linking to a sound. Again,
>my attempts to link them haven't been successful.

Not sure what you mean by "linking" a text display to a sound, and if 
I did I would probably not know how to do it anyway, so I must leave 
this one to someone else.
