Well, I finally had a chance to go through your messages. And it does work! Kind of a sneaky way to get around the boing effect. What eventually happened though was that I just left out the boing effect. I changed the balls to more of a metallic substance. Just wouldn't look right if they boinged! I do have another question for you though. How do you get a object to start in the middle of a path? Randy.

Randy, How does one get an object to start in the middle of a path? One creates TWO paths, one for each half of the movement. The one called down.path is a vertical line stretching from 0,0,600 to 0,0,0. The one called up.path is the opposite. Blaq!

I guess that would work. I was hoping that there would be an easier way to do it. I guess deep down I knew that it wouldn't be a piece of cake. Actually the way I would have to do it would be to make three paths. Then throw in acceleration and try to make it look good. Actually now that I think about it it should be pretty east to do. Thanks…. Sorry about the 'roughness' of the letter. Randy.
