menu driven texture changer?

Hi,
HI have a freebie photo booth that I got and it is nice.. its a HUGE sphere and the poses in it are nice.. what it does NOT have in it are textures. I can make my own backdrop textures... and put them in there.. Id like to find a script where I can click and get a menu and select my texture... doesn't have to be too fancy.. can be just a next button and a previous button.. because I want to be able to add more textures later.
but I don't want it to interfere with the pose stand script already inside it...
Perhaps if I make a box to use as a texture controller button type thingy and link it? do all scripts have to be in the rot prim? or can they be in separate prims? the sphere has 2 button prims on it one for next pose and one for previous pose.. do those buttons have a script that talks to the script in the root prim? LOL how does it work? am I asking to much here? I can vaguely understand scripting enough to do some minor modifications on some but not enough to make my own.. and much more than a hover text script.. note card giver... easy stuff.... My understanding is limited.


Aaaaaaaannndd.. one more thing... I have attached a pic of one of my ads that a friend took.. her photo booth had a particle effect that created very subtle glowy orbs behind the model.
is there a script here somewhere that can do that? or would I pretty much have to buy one of those expensive booths to get what I want? LOL Im probably asking too much here but hey its worth a shot.

There is a simple example in the SL wiki. A Google search with site:wiki.secondlife.com or site:lslwiki.net can make it easier to find these.

There is also a bunch of good sample material here on the forums. If you pick Advanced Search from the Search link above, you can single out the Scripting Library forum to help find them.

Oh, that example:

For the particle thing, maybe start over at the Particle Laboratory in Teal. There are quite a few examples there, you might find a generator there that does what you want already, or that comes close that you can tweak to suit. And the place has all the information you need to do that tweaking!

I think I found what I need. someone IMmed me in world and I bought a hud thingie that I was able to set up to change the texture on any face of my booth . and the particle thing.. I found a particle majic hud thing freebie that looks like it had the particle I wanted.. now I just have to figure out how to USE it LOL
