Like this maybe:

 

p =3D = thisProperty;

pts =3D = p.points();

N1 =3D = thisComp.layer("Null 1");

N2 =3D thisComp.layer("Null = 2");

p1 =3D = fromComp(N1.toComp(N1.anchorPoint));

p2 =3D = fromComp(N2.toComp(N2.anchorPoint));

pts[0] =3D p1;

pts[pts.length-1] =3D p2;

createPath(pts,p.inTangents(),p.outTangents(),p.isClose= d())

Subject: [AE] mask = splines

 

Is there a way to take the end points of a spline and = use expressions to parent them to = nulls?  

 

I = have animated splines, lightning bolts, and want the ends to lock = to two different animated objects.

 

I'm not seeing a way to isolate a point in a spline = mask...is this possible?

 

Thanks,

John
