Sorry for the delayed reply. Today was the first day I've had to work on it since I asked my question. I figured it out. I'm guessing the repeat loop automatically adds 1 to y (or whatever variable I'm using to keep track of the count)? I think my "add 1 to y" line was what was messing me up on the ...

Hi all, I'm working on making a repeat loop to put items into an array. I'm using a repeat with loop and want to use the counter variable to also tell the program what key to store the data in within the array. It will look something like this: put 1 into y repeat with y = 1 to 12 put any line of tC...

Thank you Klaus! This will work nicely with me current code.

And thanks for the hint, but what might happen without the quotations? I've run it several time through using the code without quotations and haven't noticed anything unusual.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, Is there a way to have livecode ignore key presses during a certain period of time? I need the program to continue to execute other commands but also disregard any key presses during this phase. The keyDown code is set up similar to what is below: on keyDown theKey if theKey is K then d...

Thanks Jacque!

I'll give this a try. It definitely seems safer than the way I'm currently doing it since there is a chance that it could reach it's recursion limit normally (even though it is highly unlikely).

I'll let you know what I come up with.

Thanks, but I figured it out. It was the logic in the put 0 into trialBlockArray[1-5]. I used a repeat loop to fix it like so:

repeat with x = 1 to 5
put 0 into trialBlockArray[x]
end repeat

Thanks again!

Hi everyone, I have a function within my program that calls itself again if a certain condition is not met. I basically need it to pick 1 of five total images and display it on the screen (then the user gives some input) then pick another image to display that is not the same as the previous one and...

Got It! I both love and hate when it is something simple. I have to remember that go to used to point to cards or URL's. It works like I want it to now guys. Thanks a Lot! The new code for openCard (this will change further for my program, but trying to build it in steps) on OpenCard set the visible...

Hi Simon, the moveToNextPhaseCode looks like this on moveToNextPhase if correctResponse is 15 then go to next card else go to openCard end if end moveToNextPhase the keyDown contains this on keyDown theKey if theKey is k then if vRandomLocation is 2 then set the visible of img "GREEN CHECK.png" to t...

Hi Simon and Klaus, To clairify - I wrote my last post at around 2 am - I want the card to execute all of the functions and commands listed above the keyDown and then stop until it receives a key press from the user, then execute anything listed after the keyDown (just checking to see if the conditi...

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with a repeat loop. I have some code that right now is inside openCard and I need it to start running as soon as the card opens (there are no other events to start the ball rolling) but I need it to repeat until a certain condition is met. This code includes several...

Hi Bernd, Your're correct about the research. The way it's set up, the program would only have to handle max 200 files in a folder (for now) and they will all be the same size and format (as I'll have to create them myself and will have the luxury of ensuring this). But, if I continue with this proj...

Thank you both for your help! I'm brand new to programming so I'm trying to learn as I go. I have a question, though: which one of these would be better for dealing with folders with a large amount of files? I need something that's going to be able to select a random picture and put it into the imag...

Hi, I'm trying to create an array of images from a file and then call a random image from the array and have it display in an image area. To do this I have a button with the following code global distractorArray global distractorNumber on mouseUp local tFolder answer folder "" put it into tFolder --...

Thank you, Jean-Marc,

That fixed it. I imagined it was something simple I was overlooking.

Again, Thanks for your help!
