Import Then Move X Amount of Pixels - AUTOMATED or ACTION - For a Software GUI

Hello guys,

I am needing to deliver to a software company one VERY long PNG that contains different animated states or steps of a volume knob for a user interface.

I have 127 animated steps/states in 127 PNG files. SO what I need to do is to discover an action or automated way that I can import each file in, then move it +X amount of pixels.

Specifically it's a 40px by 40px volume knob and there needs to be a 1px space in between each state. SO... basically... that means my end result document would be a 5,207px width document (40 times 127 plus 127).

Does this make sense?

Thank you for any help. My goal is to find the most efficient way of doing this. I was able to create the many different file states from After Effects.

Thanks for any help!

Nevermind!


I found what I was looking for and it's called a Sprite Sheet Generator. I found someone who created a script for it...

Google: Rohan Liston - sorry I'd post a link but the forum won't let me.
 
why you wanna do this in just one single PNG ? I don't get it. you could use multiple PNG files.

Actually I figured it out.

Why do I need it in one PNG? I need what is called a "sprite sheet". I didn't know this until now what it was called and after doing some serious digging around I found it.

And I found an automated way of doing it to! I'm a n00b on this forum so I can't post a link but google Rohan Liston he created a "sprite sheet generator".

It's for programing a User Interface for audio software.
