Hi all,

I am trying to animate a mixed particle flow down a channel, with
different particles separating at one point and moving down different
channels.

I am sure this can be done another way, but for now I am trying it
with splines, specifically Chris Colefax' excellent splines macro. I
have designed several (9) splines describing paths down the channels.

Since I want to show particles continually flowing down the channels,
I want multiple particles on one spline, following one another. 

Can I do this using the spline macro? Can I assign some sort of spline
clock to a particular particle? 

I thought about using #while statements to start sets of particles,
but even that is a little hokey.

Any thought? Suggestions? ready-made code (grin)?

Thanks for the help.

Lloyd
