You could use a conventional map and then use effects like Echo in your pre-comp depending on what you actualyl want to achieve....

I'm using the 'strings' options in Trapcode Form and I'm stuck on using a layer map to color the strings. It's difficult to describe the problem so i've posted a snapshot here:
http://bit.ly/12jyEVV

I'm using the Map Over XY, time = Z + time option, and my layer map is just a red square wiggling around. The problem is that I want this red wave to move along X instead of Z, but I can't do that. Form only creates strings in Y and Z and the layer map will only map with time along the Z axis. Is there a work around? or a way to create strings along X and Y?
