Hi 

Is there anyway i can reduce the loading time for a raven test i have coded? Its part of a test that includes a short questionnaire as well but just before the raven starts it shows the inquisit loading screen for quite sometime. 

Heres the online link... http://research.millisecond.com/mossac/basetestweek1.web and the zip file is attached.

You can type in any 3 digit number for the user id.

Many thanks.

Kind Regards

Zoe

What you can do is put a <picture> element in the "projectstart.iqx" that has all the images the later Raven script needs as its items. Something like:

<picture preload>
/ items = ravenitems
</picture>

<item ravenitems>
/ 1 = "a1-01.jpg"
/ 2 = "a2-01.jpg"
...
</item>

This should cause those files to be downloaded at the very start / before any of the scripts begin running. The later Raven test should then start up much more quickly because the required files are already present on the system.
