Did you tried 'Rail Extrude'?! I don't know if that is what you want, but you
can use rail extrude to make your object follow a path and rotate along it as
well.
To use 'Rail Extrude', just put your curve path into a background layer (you
can convert the motion path to a curve using a Arexx macro) and alight your
object to the beginning of the curve, rotating it accordingly. Then just 'rail
extrude' it.
Does this help?! No?! Well, maybe I misunderstood the question!!!
