I went ahead and created the hybrid of the two scripts. It works great for me, and is exactly what I'm looking for. I added the Variable controls from the other script I linked to above by I just sort of merged the two scripts into one package.

# This script allows the user to add an additional layer to the combat scene
# during the loading process. The additional Foreground layer will overlap
# enemy units and characters, but not the battle status windows. Use Variables
# to give each Event or Map Area ID a given Background and Foreground.
# #
# To use, Create a new folder called: BattleBacks in your Game/Graphics folder.
# Then lable the images as follows:
# BattleBack1, BattleBack2, BattleBack3, etc
# BattleFront1, BattleFront2, BattleFront3, etc

# Change BB_VARIABLE & BF_VARIABLE to the variable to link to the images
BB_VARIABLE = 21 # Can be anything, but in my game, it's 21
BF_VARIABLE = 22 # Can be anything, but in my game, it's 22
#Create Variable Controls on an Event or Common Event, create and select
# BB & BF_VARIABLE as 21 & 22 (Or whatever number you like, just change it above)
# and add the # of the image as the Constant.
#Example: If You want BattleBack3, the Constant is 3.
#Note: You'll Generate an Error if you do not specify a Back AND a Front.

Enjoy! I put the instructions in the Script itself, I hope I made them very clear. Credit has been given to both creators.
