Hey, 

I have a study i want to run using the digit symbol substitution task. However, the script from the Millisecond website is version 5 which does not allow me to run it with the school who has the license for Inquisit Version 4. 

Is there any way to change the script such that i can run it on Inquisit web player 4 (without upgrading it to version 5)? 

Can anyone help me out?

Yes. What you'd have to do is
- Download the Inquisit 5 version of the script,
- Open it in Inquisit Lab 4, and then
- Work through the code, i.e. replace all Inquisit 5-specific syntax features with Inquisit 4-syntax compatible equivalents (as far as any exist).

For example, Inquisit 4 syntax has no <parameters> element, so you'd have to replace that with <values>.

Give this a go and if you get stuck and don't know how to make a certain part compatible with Inquisit 4, post to this thread and I'll try to point you in the right direction.

I made a quick pass through the keyboard input version of the Digit Symbol Substitution Task, and the revision attached below should work under Inquisit 4. If you compare the attached script to the original, that should give you a good idea of what needs to be changed in case you want to modify any of the other versions (e.g. mouse input).

Hi Dave,

Sorry for the late reply. I can't seem to be able to open the script you sent me, always resulting in error loading the symbol images from my folders. Is there anything I can do to change that?

Thanks again.

If you simply replace the original (Inquisit 5 compatible) script with the one attached above, i.e. put it in the same folder where the original script and images reside, things should work without any problem. I did just that and can confirm that the script works fine under Inquisit 4.
