Full experiment not showing

Hi! I have a study with randomization to one of two trainings and a control condition. Each training / control is preceded by an essay.
In the training conditions, everything shows up properly. In the control condition, it skips the essay and moves on to the training part.
I'm not sure why this is the case; I copied the control condition into a separate script and it worked.

Any ideas would be really helpful and greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

What I think the relevant pieces are copied below:
<expt>
/blocks = [1=Subject_ID; 2= Instruct_choice; 3=ListA; 4= Positive_Essay1; 5= Positive_SurveyEssay; 6 = Positive_Essay2; 7=Positive_ROCpractice;
8=Positive_ROCpracticetrials; 9=Positive_ROC_ListA; 10=Positive_ROC_ListA2; 11=endROC; 12=Instruct_choice2; 13=ListA; 14=final_end]
/subjects = (1 of 3)
/groupassignment = random
</expt>
<expt>
/blocks = [1=Subject_ID; 2= Instruct_choice; 3=ListA; 4= Negative_Essay1; 5= Negative_SurveyEssay; 6 = Negative_Essay2; 7=Negative_ROCpractice;

Please put the full script including any external files it needs to run (images, etc.) into a ZIP archive and attach the archive to this thread (click +Insert -> Add File). It's not possible to answer your question based on incomplete excerpts. Also please specify _exactly_ what you think is getting skipped, i.e. please list the respective <block> or <survey> element exactly as it is named in the script. Thanks.

That said, there are clear mistakes here:

<text Neutral_EssayText2>
/items = Negative_Essay_Text2
/size = (940, 880)
/position = (50, 50)
/halign = center
/select = sequence
/ txcolor = (255, 255, 255)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 25)
</text>

<text Neutral_EssayText3>
/items = Negative_Essay_Text3
/size = (940, 880)
/position = (50, 50)
/halign = center
/select = sequence
/ txcolor = (255, 255, 255)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 25)
</text>

In both cases you are ostensibly referencing the wrong <item> elements -- "negative" where they should actually be "neutral".
