Scratch

Create a list for first names, a list for last names, a list for age, etc.  You set up what's called a parallel array, where item x of one list corresponds to item x of another list.  So the lists would look like this:

firstnames { Karerina, Logan, etc. }
lastnames { Mitropoulos, Henderson, etc. }
ages { 18, ..., etc. }

You get the idea.  If you want to display data about everyone to the screen (in the form of variables), show the variables "name" and "age" on the stage (by checking the boxes next to them) and then use this script:

repeat until <(i) > (length of [firstnames v])>
set [name v] to (join (item (i) of [firstnames v]) (item (i) of [lastnames v]))
set [age v] to (item (i) of [ages v])
wait until <key [space v] pressed?>
wait until <not<key [space v] pressed?>>
change [i v] by (1)
end

only one question the "i" that you ve got at the begginnig...
I cant find it...is there somethig else I can do ?

That was a variable I created for going through the list.  Just go to the Variables pane and create a new variable named i.  A variable named i is often used to iterate through lists.  By the way, make sure you include this block at the beginning of your script:

set [i v] to [0]

That ^. It's can be called anything, commonly "reader", "counter", or "iterator"

You forgot "index"

There is a problem... i make the code and the variables as you said, but when i press the green flag to start over the game, i write name and ages and they dont appear to the list.. We tried with other commands (the blue one "ask what's your name and wait" ) but still nothing.... what we do wrong ????              

You can imagine a variable this way.  You define a variable as a place to store information.  You can put something into the variable, and it will be stored until it's changed.  Then, you can retrieve the value of the variable.  It's sort of like a box; you put things into the box, and then take them out again to see what they are.  You can also change what's in the box.  That's crucially what a variable is.
