Global Variable not computing in Timer() Event!?!

First off, I'm leaving all my newbie comments in for the people who would like to learn from this like me, so...

This is what I have: a list that I wanna call every entry from, with a delay of a couple seconds. I've tried llSleep but need to be able to stop it when I need to, so it wont work, so this is what I have that I think SHOULD be working!

-----------------BEGIN CODE----------------------
string callingnumvar;
default
{

///////Skipping to problem code for the post

state_entry() //When entering state...
{
llListen( 0, "", llGetOwner(), "" ); //Listen for owner to say something on channel 0
randomizednums = llListRandomize(basenums, 1); //randomize base numbers into that list
for (i = m ; i<75;i++) //start with index of m and go down to the next num each time
{
callingnumvar = llList2String(randomizednums,i); //set the string to be said to the next index in the list
llSetTimerEvent(3.0);
}
}

timer()
{
llSay(0, callingnumvar);
llSay(0, "debug";
}

-----------------END CODE-------------------
and what I end up with it saying is
Object:
Object: debug
Object:
Object: debug
Object:
Object: debug
-and so on
now it works fine without the timer and with the llSay(0, callingnumvar); put up in the for statement. can anyone tell me why this isnt working and a better way to do it? Thanks in advance!

Just guessing here (as your above post is missing a ton a defines..), but you are basically just overwriting the old string with a new value. If you want the string to append the new value, rather then replace, try this:

callingnumvar += llList2String(randomizednums,i);

Compilation error(s):
"basenums" variable not defined within scope.

"list llSetTimerEvent(" trying to compile a variable with name == a keyword. (you have "list" alone by itself on the line before llSetTimerEvent.)

Also, please surround your code with [CODE ] and [/CODE ] (Remove the spaces)

EDIT: Sorry about sounding so anal, I just read and mentally interpret code better this way

Well, to start with, I don't think your loop is doing what you want it to do. I assume you want it to say each occurence of callnumvar opposed to just the last one. As written, each for loop resets the timer to trigger for 3 seconds, and since the loop should take less than three seconds, the timer() event will never fire until the loop is completed. This should probably do what you need (** Disclamer: Not tested, sleep deprived, over-worked, code)

// make basenums a global but recycle it to store
// random numbers list also.
list basenums = [...]; 
// i was set to m in the original code... not sure where m
// came from...
integer i;
default
{
	state_entry() 
	{
		llListen( 0, "", llGetOwner(), "" ); 
		// Randomize the list
		basenums = llListRandomize(basenums, 1); 
		// Start the timer
		llSetTimerEvent(3.0);
	}
	timer()
	{
		// Say element i from basenums
		llSay(0,llList2String(basenums,i);
		i = i + 1;
		// Stop timer if i went through it's maximum loops
		if (i > 74)
		{
			llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
		}
	} 
}

sorry guys, just didnt wanna give up the whole code, which is too long to post really. but I have everything defined. I just wanted each value in the list said once.

Alondria's code worked with some modifications to fit the rest of the script, thanks alot all.

It's really hard going from vb to LSL...
