Randomly and Continuously Change Avatar's Face Texture

I would like to make a Sequence that Waits 2-6sec., Randomly changes the texture on the avatar's face, and Repeats.

Based on the post
http://www.worldviz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=776
the texture needs to be set to repeating mode.

Otherwise, the face is blacked out.

See attached files and code.

Thanks,
Karla

Code:
#August 19th, 2008
import viz
import vizinfo	#For info box
import viztask 	#For wait time
import random	#For random.choice(), etc.

viz.go()

#****ADD CHARACTER HERE****
#Character M-0327
mv_x = 0; mv_y = 1.78; mv_z = -1.0; viz.MainView.setPosition(mv_x,mv_y,mv_z)
mv_euler_x = 180; mv_euler_y = 0; mv_euler_z = 0; viz.MainView.setEuler(mv_euler_x,mv_euler_y,mv_euler_z)
character1 = viz.add('male.cfg'); character1.translate(0,0,-1.4572); character1.rotate(0,1,0,0); character1.state(1) #Neutral state of avatar 
face1 = character1.face('M-0327.vzf')	#add a face to the avatar
eyes_center = viz.add('M-0327Bio_UV_Head.jpg'); face1.texture(eyes_center); eyes_center.wrap(viz.WRAP_S,viz.REPEAT); eyes_center.wrap(viz.WRAP_T,viz.REPEAT)
#****ADD CHARACTER HERE****
view1 = viz.get(viz.MAIN_VIEWPOINT)

#Make the avatars' eyes Blink at slightly different rates*****************
#MUST ADD LITERATURE REFERENCES FOR DURATION BETWEEN BLINKS, DURATION OF CLOSE, & DURATION OF OPEN
close_eye = vizact.morph("blink",1,0.1)		#Closing Blink morph, take 0.1sec. to close
open_eye = vizact.morph("blink",0,0.2) 		#Opening Blink morph, take 0.2sec. to open
wait_blink = vizact.waittime(vizact.randfloat(4,10)) 	#Wait 4-10sec. between blinks, less duration for easier tasks (talking), more duration (up to 15sec.) for more difficult tasks
blinkAction = vizact.sequence(wait_blink, close_eye, open_eye, viz.FOREVER) #Blink indefinitely

#Add blink action to face; different avatars will have a slightly different blink rate
face1.addAction(blinkAction, pool=12) 

#Use 4 positions (Left, Right, Center, and Up) to create different Eye Contact 
#l_eyes = viz.add('M-0327_eyes_Left.jpg') 		#modified face, 'eyes' to Left
#r_eyes = viz.add('M-0327_eyes_Right.jpg') 		#modified face, 'eyes' to Right 
#c_eyes = viz.add('M-0327_eyes_Center.jpg') 	#modified face, 'eyes' Center (default)
#u_eyes = viz.add('M-0327_eyes_Up.jpg') 		#modified face, 'eyes' Up 
l_eyes = viz.addTexture('M-0327_eyes_Left.jpg') 	#modified face, 'eyes' to Left
r_eyes = viz.addTexture('M-0327_eyes_Right.jpg') 	#modified face, 'eyes' to Right 
c_eyes = viz.addTexture('M-0327_eyes_Center.jpg') 	#modified face, 'eyes' Center (default)
u_eyes = viz.addTexture('M-0327_eyes_Up.jpg') 		#modified face, 'eyes' Up
