Actually a script can listen to itself, that's how the llDialog() works. when you press one of the buttons in the dialog a messsage is sent out on the specified channel and the script needs to listen for that message to know what to do. to answer the OP, if you want to have the listen message captured and used in the touch event you will need to declare a global string value (Putting string variable1; before the code) and then you will beable to use the variable accross multiple events.
