This is an error because (Create("text_artist")) is an element not an array.

>> What about:
>>    Viewers : srt_array(1) := (Create("text_artist"));

This is an error because srt_array(1) is indexing notation, not array
declaration notation.

The trick is to force the compiler into thinking that Viewers is being
assigned an array. Try this:

Viewers : srt_array(1..1) := ( others => Create("text_artist"));

or if you prefer, this:

Viewers : srt_array(1..1) := ( 1 => Create("text_artist"));
