How to record dimension values during an animation?

Hi,
I am looking for a macro that can record the dimension values during an animation. See flash example attached.

Do you have solidworks motion? (the option I'm mentioning isn't available in animation mode or simple motion) I didn't get to dive in too deeply as I was working from sketches in the same manner you were. With solid parts it looks like you can create a results graph of displacement vs (variable of your choice, usually time). I didn't have the time to run a study so I'm not sure you can export these individual dimension values, but that's one place to start.
