Circular Motion using Guides

[sbakers]

I am trying to make an object just follow a circular path using Motion Guides. Should I have to create two Motions tween exactly in the middle to get the object to follow the path, or am I missing something simple..?

The next problem comes in, that if I do make two motions tweens, using the middle, and I reshape the circle to an elipse, the tweens get all out shape, and the object just goes down and back on the same side.

I hope I am missing something simple.. Sorry I am a real newbie at this.

the prob with circular guides is that the object tends to go half way around the circle then come back the same way. you can fix this by making the circle guide and splitting it exactly in the middle, then make 10 frames with the left side as the guide, and 10 more with the right which will give you a seamless tween but adapting it later is difficult. we've discussed circular motion guides before, you might want to search the forums as there is probably a better suggestion around.
