I have a 3D null flying around the screen like = a firefly, but only in 2D - the Z position never changes from 0.  I = used an Expression to tie my firefly layer to the null and it tracks = with the Null perfectly.  I have Particular on a solid, and when I = use an Expression to link the Particular Emitter Position to the Null = Position, the resulting position of the particles emitted are several = hundred pixels distant from the Null, even though the XYZ Position = numbers on the Particular Emitter Position are exact copies of the Null = position and the firefly position.

What am = I doing wrong?
