what is it for:
crowdomatic places a crowd of objects (crowd-objects) along a target-path (shape) and if desired all over the document too.
how to use: step 1: select "crowdomatic_0.2.js" in scriptgrapher and press the play button. a dialog appears.
step 2: draw a shape you want to be crowded then click "assign shape(s)" from the dialog
step 3: draw the objects you want to be your crowd / crowd-object(s) (these can be simple shapes or also groups... even textobjects work to some point) then select all the crowd objects and click assign "crowd-object(s)" from the dialog
step 4: tune the values in the dialog to your liking (try and error, pls)
step 5: click "do it" and enjoy the result or undo to change the values and try again. note, you don't have to reassign the shape or the crowd-objects unless you removed any of the crowd-objects.

This is amazingly, incredibly useful. Thank you!
Very nice work - thanks for sharing :)
I noticed that this script errors out on SG 2.5. To fix it, just replace the text ".getChildren()" in the script with ".children" (no parens). Thanks, and it's really useful!
Thanks Mark - I've fixed the script.
