Question

Flipbook pasting (almost in place) of one image hundreds of times?

I'm wondering if the following is possible without drudgerous work. If I wanted to take the very same image and paste it across 450 pages (225 spreads) so that it appears to travel when flipping the pages like a flipbook, how could I accomplish this without having to copy, paste in place, and then move each image one step at a time for every next page?

Perhaps there's a way of quickly pasting-in-place 225 objects on the 225 left-hand pages, selecting them all, and using align and distribute to place them evenly across a predetermined expanse?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Sounds scriptable but certainly not by me.

Right. I figured there wouldn't be a straightforward way to do it.
