Re: Help out a newbie: Updating Image in a Loop

[David McFarlane]

Scott,

Is there some serious reason that you must do this using inline code
instead of just doing it the ordinary way with a List and attribute
references? "Advanced Tutorial 1" in the Getting Started Guide that
came with E-Prime shows pretty much what you want to do here, so please
look at that first. (Hint: The "Advanced Tutorials" are *not*
advanced, they actually present very basic info about using E-Prime.
You should also work through all the tutorials in all the Guides that
came with E-Prime before starting any real work.)
