Combing two different tasks into one program

[cogneuroisfun]

I kept receiving errors such as:

"error found during compile.

Get attrib:missing parameters.

Variable not defined"

The problem is I did check through my procedure and my variable was
defined and I wasn't missing any parameters. I don't think I had any
items that were the same name between the tasks. I'm sure pasting the
procedure inside another task can cause problems but I'm just not sure
where to look since it looks like I have everything I need to run both
tasks.
