[AS2] arrays to text, rpg dialogue system

I am currently experimenting with an rpg dialogue engine and I ran into a problem. I devised this code below:

i=1;//substring counter
function talking(){//text typewriter
if(i<text.length){
i++
type=substring(text,1,i);
}else if(i==text.length){
type=text;
}
}
n=0;//dialogue counter

onEnterFrame=function(){
talking();
}
text=story[n];
story=new Array("what are we going to do about the dead body?","well dig it up and put it in my yard");



It works great if the variable "text" has a string on it. But I wanted to be able to advance to the next string so I decided to use an array to hold my dialogue texts. I placed "n" as a counter for the dialogue. The problem is that it wont put out the necessary text when I test it out. I know this is something really simple and I am very dumb for not knowing it, but after hours and hours of internet research, I have no idea what to do.

I will also attach the fla.

I think the problem is that you've defined the variable "text" before your array. Trying switching them around.

So it'll look something like this:

PHP Code:

---

i = 1;
//substring counter
function talking() {
    //text typewriter
    if (i<text.length) {
        i++;
        type = substring(text, 1, i);
    } else if (i == text.length) {
        type = text;
    }
}
n = 0;
//dialogue counter
onEnterFrame = function () { talking();
};
story = new Array("what are we going to do about the dead body?", "well dig it up and put it in my yard");
text = story[n];

Wow thanks! I knew it was something really simple. It totally works now!

No problem. Glad I could help. :)
