You can't do

Code:

mesages do: [v:
self say: 'something'
]

Because messages is an array of some sort, and they can't say things.

self is not the block; blocks don't modify the context to include themselves as "self"
self still refers to the sprite

I fixed a few things, and it said that a pirimitave failed and stopped responding.

What's the context?
Which primitive failed?
What are the values of the temp variables?

I think that the primitive is primSignal:atMilliseconds:. It's primitive 136.
I don't know the others, because it isn't responding.

I would think you should do something like this:

| messages sum start ci cumL |
messages _ #(('Foo' 2) ('' 0.2) ('Bar' 3) ('Baz' 1)).
sum _ messages inject: 0 into: [:s :pair | s + pair second].
start _ Time millisecondClockValue.
ci _ 1.
cumL _ 0.
[start + sum > Time millisecondClockValue] whileTrue: [
    start + cumL + (messages at: ci) second > Time millisecondClockValue ifTrue: [
        self say: (messages at: ci) first.
    ] ifFalse: [
        cumL _ cumL + (messages at: ci) first.
        ci _ ci + 1.
    ].
].

instead of using delays.

It just says the first one.

SO GO DEBUG IT FOR YOURSELF! OH MY GOSH!
Seriously...

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Ill have a go

self say: ''.

tosay := {'hi'.'hello'} as: OrderedCollection.
waitTime := {'1'.'2'} as: OrderedCollection.
They are you say things.

It works! Thank you.
