I have a series of sentences I would like to present, but the sentences are often long enough that they would need to be split over two lines. As this is not currently possible, I have created a set of bitmap images, one for each sentence, to get around this issue. However, the experiment got hung up on the "load data" screen, and so I tried loading from an external site (Dropbox). However, the it still seems to get stuck on the loading data screen. Is there a rule of thumb for how many files are too many, or the size of the files? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!

There is usually no limit to the numbers of images/sounds/videos as far as I am aware, but the higher the amount of files the longer the loading time is likely to be. Have you tried your external site with fewer images and did that work?
As mentioned in the other thread, would it be possible for you to have the sentences split into two so you can place them on the screen underneath each other? Meaning writing one part into one column and the other part into another column of a table that you call in your task and place each text using show text at the intended coordinates.

The "show text" instruction is for showing a text without any form of multi-line wrapping.
This question gets back repeatedly, and I will add this functionality in a future version.
For the time being, what you can do is, for a long sentence, split it into three parts and show them separately. That should be fairly straightforward to do.
If you have lots of text, it is much easier than working with "bitmaps", and it loads more quickly.
