Millisecond Forums

Hello everyone!

I have to adapt an existing task ( http://www.millisecond.com/download/library/AAT/ ) which resizes images depending on whether the user moves the mouse up or down.
The goal is that it resizes the images by pressing the up or down arrow. I've been figuring out how the original task did it over the last 3 hours (including some adaptations for the images/texts of course :) )

Now the problem is that with the mouse movement it's possible to change trials on every input change.
See practicetrial_A/practicetrial_B and practicedecrease/practiceincrease:
/validresponse = (mousemove)
[...]
/branch = [if (trial.practicedecrease.responsey <= 0)
{values.mouse_y = trial.practicedecrease.responsey; values.endtime = script.elapsedtime; values.finalresponse = "PUSH"; trial.enddecrease_practice}]
/branch = [if (trial.practicedecrease.responsey <= values.mouse_y)
{values.mouse_y = trial.practicedecrease.responsey; trial.practicedecrease}]
/branch = [if (trial.practicedecrease.responsey > values.mouse_y)
{values.mouse_y = trial.practicedecrease.responsey; values.changedirection += 1; trial.practiceincrease}]

This can be found in the increase/decrease trials which let the image grow or shrink. It switches quickly from one trial to another, depending on mouse movement.

With the keypress it seems one has to press and release the key to make inquisit register it as an input and change the trial. But it's not very usable if one has to press 24+ times per second to make the image appear growing ;)
It's important to let the images grow/shrink animated and also to stop the growing/shrinking process when the user releases the corresponding key.

Do you, dear reader, have any suggestions on how to tackle that problem?

Cheers
