Group: Forum Members Posts: 51, Visits: 256	Hello, I would like to use a dynamically changing values element assigned to an item attributes in picture element, however I have an error: Unable to initialize <picture right> item number 1. Verify the item exists and is correctly defined. Let say this is a code illustrating my problem: <values> right_presentation = "picture1.bmp" </values.> <picture right> / items = ("<%values.right_presentation%>") / position = (80,50) </picture> Its works when i simply paste "picture1.bmp" as an item in picture however in my procedure I need to constantinous change pictures according to a set of a conditions therefore I would like to use a value wit migh be created in a start of each trial. It is possible to use a values element in a picture item attribute? Best

It is possible to use a values element in a picture item attribute? Best It's possible to do that, but: #1: Your <values> element is misspecified (not sure if this is a copy and paste error or if it's in the actual script as well). <values> right_presentation = "picture1.bmp" </values.> needs to read <values> / right_presentation = "picture1.bmp" </values> #2: More importantly, your script first needs to _know_ about the image files you are planning to use. You have to make them known to the script by adding a <picture> element to the script that has all the image files as items. You don't need to use that <picture> element for anything else, i.e. you don't need to display it in a <trial>, it just needs to be there. Edited 6 Years Ago by Dave

Thank you so if I understand this correctly I only need to add a "dummy" picture element e.g as follows: <picture dummy> / items = ("picture1.bmp") */ and all other pictures files </picture> <values> right_presentation = "picture1.bmp" </values> <picture right> / items = ("<%values.right_presentation%>") / position = (80,50) </picture>

Thanks for your help BTW use of values and picture elements is quite counterintuitive maybe it will be good idea to add above description somewhere in to the Inquist help file
