I am making a joke card in one of the tutorial and it shows me how to make my sprite say something when the A button is pressed. I want the punchline to also be said by my sprite when the A button is pressed a second time.

How do I make this happen?

Thanks!

make a new variable call it ‘i’ if you want (for index) and set it to 0  
end put your two strings in a array  
then when the A button is pressed then make the sprite say the string in the array at the index i  
and after that you modify i by 1
