try something like that:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
hide mouse

make object cube 1,5
position camera 0,2,-10

load image "untitled.bmp",1
load image "untitled1.bmp",2
load image "untitled2.bmp",3
load image "untitled3.bmp",4
load image "untitled4.bmp",5
load image "untitled5.bmp",6
load image "untitled6.bmp",7
load image "untitled7.bmp",8
load image "untitled8.bmp",9
load image "untitled9.bmp",10
load image "untitled10.bmp",11

bmp = 1
do
  yrotate object 1,wrapvalue(object angle y(1)+5)
  zrotate object 1,wrapvalue(object angle z(1)+5)

  if mouseclick()=1 
   texture object 1,bmp
   inc bmp
   if bmp = 12 then bmp = 1
  endif
  sync
loop

Depending on how complex your objects are you may be able to just make a big texture strip and scroll it.

Yea, scrolling is better(I think?). Because from my sense of logic, scrolling UV data is just changing the UV coordinates of the object, whilst "Texture Object" is actually "switching" textures of the object which involves releasing and assigning resources. So it tends to consume more memory. But this is just my understanding though, please do correct me if my statement here is false
