Adobe script for rotation and position

Question

I am new to adobe script and actions (very new. like starting today, right now).
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 or any kind of text 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, does anyone have any suggestions. I've never written script in adobe, but do have some programming experience in other oldschool languages.
and maybe a link that explain how to use the script once it's written?
thanks

It is not so good to provide the first post in a thread one has started oneself. Edit: At least that’s my opinion on this issue.
The Forum has been made worse recently in some regards, one of which makes it less easy to notice that the OP has posted a reply and not someone else.
Anyways, maybe this helps.
It uses and array or arrays of the basis of the transformation of the active layer.

var theW = theLayer.bounds[2] - theLayer.bounds[0];
