get current procedure from nested list

[Lisa Kaggen]

Hi there,

I have a task where 50 pictures appear in a random order, and in one of 4 
locations, randomly. To program this, I created 50 nested lists within my 
TrialList, and then within each nested list, created 4 different levels 
each with a different procedure that consists of showing an image in 4 
different locations on a slide object - the nested lists then randomly 
select one of those levels/procedures to display (not the most efficient 
method, but it works). All I need to do is create a string variable of 
which level/procedure was used (because ultimately I need to integrate this 
variable into some code that allows it to send messages to the eyetracker 
we're using, which I already know how to do). The solution I came up with 
was to go through each of the nested lists, and create a 'picture' variable 
specific to each procedure and implement this code:

''determine which nested list is being used currently
Dim procname As String

procname = c.GetAttrib("Running") 

''determine which level of the nested list was chosen

Dim imglocation As String

imglocation = procname.GetCurrentAttrib("picture")

**insert eyetracking message code here referring to "imglocation" variable**

However, the creation of a 'picture' variable for 4 different procedures 
across 50 nested lists will be pretty time consuming, and I'm also not sure 
it will even work (can someone weigh in on that?). Does anyone have a 
solution for retrieving the current level/procedure (*not *current list) 
and setting it as a variable?

Many thanks!

Lisa
