December 31, 2006 at 1:31 amIf I understand the effect you want to achieve, you could try CC Sphere on the text layer. Set the Sphere radius so it envelopes the volley ball then animate the Y rotation.
You may need to mask the layer as the text enters the screen and wraps around the ball.

January 3, 2007 at 1:00 amCreate a layer of text, apply CC sphere. Set the Render to inside. Duplicate that text layer and set Render in that CC Sphere to outside. Put the “Outside” sphere at the top position. Put the layer you want everything to orbit around at the second layer. Put the “inside” sphere layer at the bottom.
To make life simple use the pick whip to create an expression so that all of the rotation values of one CC sphere follow the other.
Voila.
