hello, 

I am trying to list several item names within a picture element, but i'm getting a warning. How do I properly list several items?

<picture oldStim>
/ items = stim1_Indoor, stim1_Outdoor, stim2_Indoor, stim2_Outdoor
/ size = (30%, 30%)
/ select = values.oldStim
</picture>
 
<item stim1_Outdoor>
/1 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_1.jpg"
/2 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_2.jpg"
/3 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_3.jpg"
/4 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_4.jpg"
/5 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_5.jpg"
</item>

<item stim2_Outdoor>
/1 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_27.jpg"
/2 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_28.jpg"
/3 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_29.jpg"
/4 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_30.jpg"
/5 = "outdoorPics/Outdoor_31.jpg"
</item>

<item stim1_Indoor>
/1 = "indoorPics/Indoor_1.jpg"
/2 = "indoorPics/Indoor_2.jpg"
/3 = "indoorPics/Indoor_3.jpg"
/4 = "indoorPics/Indoor_4.jpg"

This is not possible. A <picture> element can only reference a single <item> element, not multiple (how would the <picture> element know which <item> element to use at any given point?). You need to put the images all in a single <item> element, and you can then select the items you want via the respective item _numbers_ by using e.g. <list> elements: https://www.millisecond.com/forums/FindPost21766.aspx
