what would I need that would make images go

floating in a dictated path ....

say I make a prim with a picture and several of them I want to pass alternately past each other as the avatar walks through an opening? Or if I can have them move in set circle path around an avatar and alternate the timing of each one moving?
I dont know if I am clear on this.
kthxbi

not clear at all.

You can put an animated texture on a prim. It involves making a loooong texture with the frames of the animation stitched together. I'm not at all sure that's what you want, though.

oh sorry Lindal I know today I am rambling and that flu bug that is going around a mighty nice hot toddy last night ....

I just wanted these thin box prims with textures on it to move in a circle in the center of my build at burning life.

each will be moving at a different time and some may have text a story some may have images....wasnt sure if I could do this project ..but got inspired this morning ...how fun!
ty thou
cant wait till it comes together its a representation of my SL from the beginning...all of it
god creativity rawks in here

ah never mind someone in world sent me a nice swim fishy scripty thingamajig ... thanks Ghosty!

Here's how I would do it.

1. Don't use box prims, use a single megaprim. Or a regular prim, if a 10m circle is big enough for you.
2. Make it a big squatty cylinder.
3. Hollow it out.
4. Make it phantom
5. Apply a transparent texture
6. Make a single loooong texture of your images in Photoshop. Put transparent stripes between them. Save it as something like a 4096x512.
7. Upload the sucker.
8. Apply that texture to the outside face of your cylinder
9. Drop a rotation script in the prim

Oh, I missed that "at random" part.

Yes, a fish swimmy script should do it.
