ERROR: Experiment crashes to desktop when using a Nested List [40218]

Detail

E-Studio may crash to desktop when running a Nested List experiment with a Load Method set to File and the Filename set to an Attribute reference.

At the start of the experiment, InitObjects is one of the first methods to be called. It runs prior to the SessionProc. If the File load method is selected when the List objects are initialized, then the List attempts to load the text file and create the rows and columns.

To use an Attribute reference for a List, set the Load Method to "Embedded" and change it to the Attribute via InLine script. The following script is an example of how to accomplish this:

c.SetAttrib "MyFile", "Testing.txt"

StimList2.Filename = c.GetAttrib("MyFile")

StimList2.LoadMethod = ebLoadMethodFile

StimList2.Load
