Mouse overs?

I am working on a project for school and I have run into a little snag due to inexperience as a programmer. What I want to do is very basic; I want the user to walk around the game and be able to mouse over objects that I have created such as sinks, table, chairs, etc. When the object has been moused over, the user will see a message box that will contain a couple of lines of text as well as several thumbnails of the object with different textures applied to it. That is really all I need and I am pretty sure that it is very basic, but right now I do not have enough time to learn Torquescript. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could direct me to a tutorial that will help me out or perhaps create a tutorial for me. It would REALLY help me out. Thanks
