Arrays in AutoIt confuse me

[bundyxc]

So, I'm having an issue. The beginning of my code sets a global array variable, and immediately afterward it displays a message box of $status[$i] (where $status is my array, and $i is the array index).

If I were to open a MsgBox() after said-code, it will open, displaying the correct string. However, I'm implementing this into a GUI, and it must randomize $i each time the "Start" button on my GUI is pressed. However, if I try to display $status[$i] further down in the code, it gives an error:

C:\Users\Christian Bundy\Desktop\2pointoh.au3 (91) : ==> Subscript used with non-Array variable.:

MsgBox(0, $i, $status[$i])

MsgBox(0, $i, $status^ ERROR

You're setting it's value again to a string so it won't be an array type.

Watch your script for this line which comes right after you show the array's second element in a message box:

$status = "Can you do the thizzle dance?"

I feel like the biggest idiot ever, but I'm glad that you helped me recognize that. Thanks Authenticity.
