Sorry, I stumbled onto this thread a bit late I'm afraid.
This quote piqued my interest:

I'm a little like Carienne. Working with lua in a WoW AddOn is a bit like me trying to explain to you how to reapair your car's engine, in French. I don't speak the language, and I'm pretty fuzzy on the mechanics anyway.
Beladona, could you elaborate at all on what the pitfalls might be associated with utilizing the SetTexture function in an AddOn? As I said, me no speaka da lua so good, but that -seeemed- from my limited knowledge to be a fairly slick little function, depending on the application.
What am I missing?
