Need a developer for script: Distribute symbols on a path and rotate

It needs these processes.

1. creates an array of symbols sorted from left to right by their positions

2. distributes them on the path

3. rotates them toward the target point

The 2nd part needs so complicated process.

The 3rd part is relatively simple as follows.

// ------------------------------------------------------

function main(){

    var sels = activeDocument.selection;

    // gets the center of the foreground object.

    // the other objects are rotated toward this point.

    var point = getCenter( sels[0] );

    for(var i = 1; i < sels.length; i++){

        var t = getAngle( point, getCenter(sels));

        sels.rotate( t - 90, true, true, true, true, Transformation.CENTER );

    }

}

function getCenter(p){

    return [p.left + p.width / 2, p.top - p.height / 2];

}

function getAngle(p1, p2){

    return Math.atan2(p2[1] - p1[1], p2[0] - p1[0]) * 180 / Math.PI;

}

main();

// ------------------------------------------------------

I know this is not what you are looking for, but here is what you could use when working with very SIMPLE paths (such as part of regular circle):

• insert your object and its copy

• create intermediate objects using Blend Tool

• draw your path ( in my case this is 3/4 of a regular circle)

• select your regular path and the Blend Assembly, go to Object > Blend > Replace Spin

• the result

hope this helps,

The "Dup At Selected Anchors" of Hiroyuki Sato is a great beginning but it only works with an object (duplicate it) and I need an array of symbols instead.
