On one slide, show different images, loaded from a list

[dkmcf]

Vera,

Wow, what a discussion this sparked!  I think E-Prime can do what you
want in a quite straightforward way using nested Lists without any
inline code.  As hinted at the thread that you cited (http://
groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/
58e3ae402de68442 ), the key is "colon syntax".  So if you do not
already have this working, here is another homework assignment for
you:  Go to the index in the User's Guide that came with E-Prime and
look up "colon syntax", then follow that to the appropriate tutorials
and work through all of those.  That might give you enough ideas to
figure it out.  But if you remain stuck after that, then refresh this
thread some time next week and I will post more details on this
approach (I need you to struggle a bit first so that the later lesson
will "take").

And don't forget PST Web Support, they like to take these sorts of
questions at http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp and
they strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours (although
reported response time is currently more like 5 days).  If you do
contact Web Support then please report back here with the results.
