Yoking of random pairs working in v2008 but not v2010?

[BJG]

Hi

Hoping someone can help me as we're on a strict timeline (currently collecting data).

I've got a stim file that randomly pulls the first half of a narrative from a text stim list. The second half of the narrative is yoked to the first half so that the two halves are displayed consecutively no matter which narrative from the list is randomly selected first. Then, a picture target is drawn from another stim list - this has also been yoked to the randomly selected narrative so that the correct picture target always follows the narrative it is meant to match. Now, this all works fine when run in v2008. We've just upgraded to v2010 and although the yoking of the two narrative halves still works, the yoking of the picture target does not. Instead, the picture targets are being displayed in the order they are listed in the text file rather than being pulled to match the randomly selected narrative.

It's strange that the two narrative text files are being correctly paired but the picture targets aren't. And as I said, it works fine in v2008 so I don't think it's an error in coding.

Any ideas of a workaround greatly appreciated (except going back to v2008 - our new DirectIN response boxes don't work on the old version).

Thanks
