    adobe script for rotation and position

    anp12

      I am new to adobe script and actions.

      First I just want to know if what I'm trying to do it even possible.

       

      Imagine a simple rectangle in photoshop.

      I have a table of angles and coordinates (could be an an excel file). let's say 10 rows. column A = angles and columns B and C are x and y coordinates, respectively.

      I want to somehow have photoshop read this list, and make 10 layers that have the rectangle at the position and angle specified by each row of the table.

       

      then, I want a timeline with 10 frames, each one having only the appropriate, sequential layer visible.

       

      Is that possible?

       

      If so, I don't want anyone to write the code (unless you're really into it). But I would like some pointers or some way to get started. I've never written script in adobe, but do have some programming experience in other oldschool languages.
