multiple object deployment plugin

recently I wrote an app that required the creation of over 700 image objects 32px by 32px. Each had to have a separate script, and each had to have a unique name. They all had to be positioned to create an exact grid. After making about 5 of them it occurred to me that I could just write a nested repeat loop that would create them for me, name them for me, position them for me and even write the scripts with the necessary adjustments. Since I find myself doing a lot of this sort of repetitive object creation with images, text boxes and labels, I thought I might create a multiple object deployment plugin. However the idea seems so basic, I figured I should ask if someone might have already done it. If so, I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Has anyone made such a plugin, and if so can someone point me in that direction?
