setAttrib woes

[David McFarlane]

1337spb,

What version of E-Prime do you use?  If you use EP2.0.10 or later, 
open the Properties dialog for your Procedure, and go to the Common 
tab.  Look at Generate PreRun.  By default, you should find this set 
to TopOfProcedure.  Change this to BeforeObjectRun, and see if it 
fixes your problem.

For more explanation, please see the thread at 
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/e-prime/IV1KWxm3Q-U .

(BTW, my 1337-speak is a little weak, what does your "spb" translate to?)
