  25. Well, if you were using a BML/IF (Image Filter) script, it would be as easy
  26. as:
  27.  
  28.        var camera = getfirstitem(CAMERA);
  29.        var scene  = getfirstitem(SCENE);
  30.        var frame,xyz[3];
  31.  
  32.        for frame = 1 to scene.totalFrames do
  33.        begin
  34.            xyz = camera.param(POSITION,(frame / scene.fps));
  35.            info("Camera position at frame ",
  36.                   frame,
  37.                   " is <",xyz[1],",",xyz[2],",",xyz[3],">");
  38.        end
  39.        
  40. Sorry.  Couldn't help myself.  =|^)
