Hello,

I am working on an animation involving an audio cable spelling out a word.  It will come out of a speaker and grow to form the word.  Is there any way of growing a shape along a path and have it follow that exact path?  I know you can animate in the spline editor, but it does more of a morphing effect rather than following along a specific pre-determined path.  I was able to make it reveal (grow) using an animated shader in the alpha channel on a fully completed cord shape, but the problem with that is syncing up a separate object  - the tip of the cord (audio jack) to follow on a motion path with the exact timing of the animated shader for the cord.  Any ideas?  Thanks.
