  expression / parenting

  Posted by Alex Harding on September 14, 2006 at 1:42 pm

  suppose you animate a null object
  then parent another null to this, and add offset animation
  and then use expressions to parent something that can’t be parented in the normal way – ie a corner pin – to this second null
  the corner pin is only affected by the animation stored in the secondary null.

  Is there a way for the expression to access the final resolved coordinates of the second null?

  i hope that makes sense…

  thanks in advance

  Sure. Search this forum for “layer space transforms” like toComp(), and you will learn how.
