:nod: aww sorry about that. i guess when i finish the animatic for this project i'll post it here and ask again... the right way. the animation consists of a set of simple objects [three guiding posts] reacting to what people do to them. the people wouldn't be seen, just their actions and then the posts' reaction to what they do. i have to incorporate path animation to it somehow. i have trouble setting the attach to motion path and make the object flow the right way within the path.
