    How can I move several arrows along a spline at once with the ability to increase the count as well as increase and decrease their speed.

    Thanks,
    Q

    Perhaps by using text on a spline with arrows from a dingbat font.
    You can animate the First-Margin parameter to move them across the spline.

    If you use an extra opacity animator, you can set the range to define howmany arrow-characters are visible.

    Thanks for the tip I will give this a try. Is there any way to do the exact same thing and substitute either a vector or bitmap instead of the text? I did find a few good arrows to use in WingDings font, so maybe that will work.
    Thanks again,
