Getting two linked prims to start particles at the same time?

I am working on some jewelery, and for the most part, can do blings, and even some sparkles, but the one thing I am really stuck on, is in a piece I am doing, I have two prims that I want to start particles on, but I am not sure how to do that. I have them so that on the same attachment, they both have particles, but I am wondering if there is a way to get them to go off in unison.

I went to the Particle Laboratory, and found some great information on linking messages, but the examples for this, weren't what I was going for. Should I be using Link Messages? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes but not in an emitter/receiver way, just to tell both PSYS to start.

Linked messages it totally the way to go. When the 'main' prim receives the messge to start, have it link message telling the other to start. I have seen TOO many 'bling' scripts in my day that all use a listen for each prim!

Nice, thank you for the help! Now I just need to read up on it, and practice with getting the script right.
