incremental object transform over multiple pages?

hi, i'm wondering if anybody knows of a script or an easy way to transform an object incrementally over a number of pages.

in my case, i would like a header and folios to travel slowly across the top and sides of a book, page by page. the book is 212 pages long and i would like the effect to be almost like an oldfashioned flipbook, where if you thumbed the pages quickly you would watch the folio slide from top to bottom.

the best i can come up with is to do this manually (copy, paste-in-place, move one increment, copy again, next spread, repeat) but this seems incredibly tedious, not to mention error-prone over the course of 106 spreads.

thanks in advance for any help!
