Hi,

I'm new to E-Prime, and I spent hours trying to figure this out, but I can't seem to be able to. What happened is that I converted some E-Prime 1 files to E-Prime 2 (they've been running fine on E-Prime 1 for almost a year now) but they won't run on E-Prime 2. well they do for a random number of trials and then it crashes and the message: error 10039 : "The value for the KEY parameter is either invalid or cannot be found in this collection" appears.

The parameter that seems to be creating this is the color of the text shown as stimulus. When I set the color to a predefined one, like black or something, the script works fine again. But I need the color to change, pretty randomly.

The way it worked in E-Prime 1 was that in the properties window of the text object, the ForeColor was set to [couleur], this attribute was in the list, and the different levels were alternatively red or green (or blank for the catch trials).

Has anyone experienced similar problems after conversions? and most importantly, can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Danielle

Ok, I found the problem, I'll post it here, just in case anyone experiences the same...

It seems that E-Prime 1 accepted leaving attribute levels blank (e.g. for catch trials) whereas E-Prime 2 doesn't accept that anymore and runs the 10039 error message in that case.

happy testing

Danielle

Hi Danielle,

I'm experiencing this very same problem but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Could you tell me what you did? Thanks a lot!
