Thanks everyone! You've definitely made some great points for me to
consider. I'm really new to scripting (normally I can find plugins to
do what I want) and you're probably right that there is a much easier
solution to what I'm trying to achieve.
I'm going to take your suggestions and see what I can figure out on my
own. If I can achieve the effect I'm desiring I'll post the end
result for some feedback.
Cheers!
