    Default Motion Guide with several layers

    There is another thing what i can't get and that is with the Motion Guide.
    I can do it with one layer, click on Add Motion Guide and drag a line a.s.o
    , no problems so far. The movie works great.

    Also when i place another layer just below the Motion Guide the objects will
    automatically follow the trace. However when i create a new layer and make a
    tweening on it and then drag it just under the motion guide, then this won't
    work and i only see for that new layer the tweening i made for it. But it
    must be possible as i read that in the manual.

    Anyone an idea what goes wrong?

    I quoted to fast. ;-) I've read under F1 about that registration Points,
    however it is not completely clear for me, what the imortance is of that RP.
    Maybe you are willing to explain in a few words what the purpose is of a RP
    considering the Motion Guide?

    TIA

    The easiest way to snap a symbol to the path is dragging its registration
    point to the path.
    You can see that it's changing size. from a small o to a larger O ;)

    BTW read your previous posts....

    Good luck

    I did, but didn't get the clue ;-)
    But now i did it. I didn't understand what you meant by that RP. So i read
    it in F1 and tried it again and again. It took some time to understand, but
    with your help and that from F1 i could do it. It is so simply ... if you
    know how ;-)

    Thx again mate
