Basically the experiment just involves some pictures popping up and then participants need to respond either by pressing the “z” or “/” keys.
My problem is that the “timeout” handler (which is on card X) won’t recognize images (in a fld on the same card) even though earlier handlers on the same card have recognised and ‘dealt’ with the image
i.e. on opencard an image is shown (LiveCode reads the code here fine)
I then want that image to be hidden on “timeout” - it begins “timeout” but when it reaches the hide command it tells me “no such object exists”…..despite it putting it up on the screen seconds before during “opencard”
I am very new to LiveCode and very confused…
My (...long) script is below in case it helps
