passing random channel to second script?

Hello, I'm fairly a novice at scripting. I've been working on a dialoge menu that uses a random channel, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to pass this random channel on to a second script. (This second "slave" script would be in the same prim as the first.). This is the script I've coupled togther creating the random channel: (minus repetive info).



list MAINMENU = [
" ", "Pictures", " "];

list PICS1 = [
"LIST", "Main Menu", "+ >>>",
"07", "08", "09",
"04", "05", "06",
"01", "02", "03"];


string message = "Frame Menu";

integer chan;

integer menu_handler;

default
{
state_entry()
{

chan = 0 - ((integer)llFrand(89999.0) + 10000);
menu_handler = llListen(chan,"","","";
llListen(chan, "", llGetOwner(), "";
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
//if (llDetectedOwner(0) == llGetOwner()) // IF YOU WANT JUST FOR OWNER

llDialog(llDetectedKey(0), " \n text", MAINMENU, chan);
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{

if(message == " "
{
}
if(message == "Main Menu"
{
llDialog(id, " \n text", MAINMENU, channel);
}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
string picturelist = "\n text";

if(message == "Pictures"
{
llDialog(id, picturelist, PICS1, channel);
}
if(message == "LIST"
{
llDialog(id, picturelist, PICS1, channel);
}


if(message == "01"
{
llSetPrimitiveParams([
PRIM_TEXTURE, 0, "texture",
<1.000, 1.000, 0.0>, <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>, 0.0]);
llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | LOOP, 0,4,3,0,0,8.0); // wide x heigh
llDialog(id, picturelist, PICS1, channel);
}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//NONE
}

on_rez(integer start_param)
{
llResetScript();
}
}


I'd like to be able to create more dialogue button in the second script, if it's possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction for making the second script listen to the first? thank you kindly!

You could pass the menu channel to the second script using llMessageLinked. The second script would have to do its own listening.

You have two listens on the same channel in your script. was that intentional?

Hi azure~ If you'd like to have multiple menus and more buttons, you could do it in the 1 script under the same state. Below is a working 5-page menu sample script, up to 45 numbers with "prev", "next" and back to main menu page options. Hope that helps.
