Millisecond Forums

Hi,
I'm a novice in inquisit and I would like to program the following basic experiment:
1. ask demographic questions, 2. present visual analogue scale & self assessment manikins, 4. show video, 5. present visual analogue scale & self assessment manikins again
I've managed to implement the basic set up of this experiment with a survey, but without the SAMs. There is a script for using SAMs in an experiment, but I don't really understand what happens in that script. I would be very thankful if anyone could explain to me how to implement SAMs in a survey.
This is my code so far:
