Cannot invoke 'subscript' with an argument of type 'NSString'

Here is the code that causes problem. I commented where the error happens. This code is supposed to loop trough returned data, and append a field to an empty array of type NSSTring.

var bb = ["842278359156695", "850445345006243"]
        //Get user friends data from Parse
        var query = PFUser.query()
        query.selectKeys(["first_name", "last_name", "score", "rank"])
        query.whereKey("fbId", containedIn: bb)

        query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
            (objects: [AnyObject]!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
            var friendsArrays: [NSString] = []

            for var i = 0; i < objects.count; ++i {
                friendsArrays.append(objects["first_name"] as NSString) // ERROR here

            }
            println(friendsArrays)

        }
    }

However, this doesn't happen, and cause the error in the title of this message, where show. If I remove "as NSString", then the error message is: "Could not find an overload for 'subscript' that accepts the supplied arguments".

Please advise and answer in swift.

The object you are trying to apply the subscript is objects, which is an array. You probably want to do that at the i-th element:

for var i = 0; i < objects.count; ++i {
    friendsArrays.append(objects[i]["first_name"] as NSString) // ERROR here    
                                ^^^
}

However I suggest to convert that into a for-each loop

for object in objects {
    friendsArrays.append(object["first_name"] as NSString) // ERROR here    
}
