That does work for animating the object along the length of the path even as the path moves, but what i want to do is have the object move along with the end of the stalk, to move with the end point of the path (top of the stalk). What i need is the ability to get the position values of that one point on the masks path… similar to tracking the end of the stalk. Sorry, should have been more clear in the first post.. Thanks for the input though…
