Need a quickie script please...

I've been searching the forums for an hour and haven't found exactly what I need, so hope someone can help me out please.

I need a script that simply talks on a chat channel to another script to send a command to activate that 2nd script, which is an animated prim. The 2nd script will run for X seconds and stop till the first script tells it to run again.

I found through other scripts in the search how to set the chat channel and what not, but I have zero clue how to have the 1st script tell the 2nd script to start running the script that's inside it.

Thanks for your help!

Post what you got so far. Scripts cannot use chat channels to itself if they are in the same object, linkmessages are used for that. Chat is between two different objects and/or attachments.

I don't have anything put together yet, I'm cobbling this all together from other scripts I'm finding on the forums. This last bit was just the only thing I couldn't find and/or understand how to do on my own.

Both scripts would be in two separate prims not linked to one another.

You certainly confused me:
...a script that is a prim?
... a script inside a script?

No, sorry about that..

I want script A inside prim A to talk to script B inside prim B.

OBJECT 1

integer listen_channel = 9999;
default
{ 
    touch_start(integer num_detected)
    {
      llRegionSay(listen_channel,"DO IT");
    }
}

OBJECT 2

integer listen_channel = 9999;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(listen_channel, "", NULL_KEY, "");
    }
    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
    {
        if (message =="DO IT")
        {
          state move_it;
        }
    }
    on_rez(integer param)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
}

state move_it
{
    state_entry()
    {
      llSetTimerEvent(10);
     // put you stuff here
    }
    timer()
    {
      llSetTimerEvent(0);
      //put your stuff here also
      state default;
    }
}

Awesome, thank you very much for your help! I will try it out tonight when I can get back in world and get back to you.
