    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.
