List of Variables

Is there anyway of having a list of variables as opposed to just text and numbers? it would help my program to have these as the list i want to make will be ever changing during the progress of the app being played, also where the list is being used I want to have a coloured background label with the width dependent on a variable I want in the list so as the app is cycling through the list the width of the label is adjusted to the variable being displayed in the list.

You can define a list of label components in Screen1.Initialize, and reference them using the Any Label blocks later.

Is that what you want?

no i want to attach a variable block to a make a list block but it doesnt allow it, it only allows a empty text block or empty math block for you to edit. i guess lists can only be made of text and numbers like in the tutorials.

that's correct

to replace list items, just use the replace list item block, there is no need to use variables in this case
