I want to create an animation of a rope tying a knot - I’ve seen an after Effects Tutorial that uses expressions to get multiple objects following a leader object to create snakes. Each object follows the one ahead of it.

If I have a movieclip following a motion path named “leader” how would I get other movieclips to follow it but just slightly further behind one another using as2?
