1) You can use .setOption("preloadDelay", 5000) on the closing parenthesis of newTrial
2) These two tricks (._element.resource.status and 1 above) are actually pretty advanced, albeit concise. This is because it didn’t occur to me to make those things customizable. If you’re interested, you can take a look at PennController’s source code and try to hack it out 😉
