Detecting mouse clicks

[Michiel Spape]

Hi,
1. It's Task.InputMasks(1).Responses.Count, i.e. the count of the number of responses of the first inputmask, not Task.InputMasks.Responses(1).Count, the count of the first response (which is like asking how many numbers is there in 3 apples, which would be 1, if you'd take that literally). .Responses should be taken as an array, hence .count being a valid property thereof (how many apples are there in that collection of apples - 3). If the above (.inputmasks(1)) does not work, task being a slide (and not, for instance, a subobject of the slide), then there is no input object defined in your task slide. 
2. If the Task is a slide, it should have a sub-object (at least one, else you have a blank slide with no possibility of defining text at all). Inserting a text sub-object on your slide, with the text [myText], and writing something like 
c.SetAttrib "myText", "Text on Page 1" 
prior to the slide's appearance, should then change the slide.
3. More information on the purpose of the setup, in precise semi-programming language of what you want the pc to show at what time, would be useful :) In the meantime, I hope some of the above may help. 
Best,
Mich

Thank you for your reply.

- I tried using the command Task.InputMasks(1).Responses.Count, but E-
Prime breaks out of the program with and indexing fault. I also tried
Task.InputMasks.Responses(1).Count which has been proposed by others,
but that won't compile.

- "It doesn't work" should be read as: the program is running, but
does not change the text when clicking on the mouse. 'Task' is not an
unreferences object, but a slide, so a Task.Run already exists in the
script.

- I know the test setup is a bit strange, but I have several tasks
such as reading, counting backwards, listening to speech, listening to
music and so on. I have organized these trials so that they just
consisting of one slide, which works for all the other tasks. That's
why I havn't tried to implement the reading of the book as attributes
since that would require more slides for all the tasks.

Next step I think is to implement the use of a good old hard copy book
for the subjects to page through ;-)
