Hello Eprime people,
Does anyone have an idea on how to have an image move with a n-point likert scale? As the participant uses keys to move up and down the scale I would like to have an image follow where you are on the scale. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Stock reminder: 1) I do not work for PST. 2) PST's trained staff
take any and all questions at
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , and they
strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours. 3) In addition,
PST takes questions at their Facebook page
(http://www.facebook.com/pages/Psychology-Software-Tools-Inc/241802160683
), and offers several instructional videos there and on their YouTube
channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/PSTNET ) (no Twitter feed yet,
though). 4) If you do get an answer from PST staff, please extend
the courtesy of posting their reply back here for the sake of others.

That said, here is my take...

This is a two-part question: How to program an n-point Likert scale,
and how to use a moving image with that scale.

As for the first part, see the "Visual Analog Scale" example
downloadable from PST (yes, as you all know they misnamed that
example -- it demonstrates a Likert scale, *not* a VAS!).

Once you have some practice getting that code to work, you might see
how to incorporate an image.

Good luck.
