I'll try provide you an example asap.

A partial stack trace for the error I am getting is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Hey Fabrice,
thanks for the response. I have tried using a different path for each
object, but still get errors. Can you provide a working example using
multiple objects, each with it's own path and Path Animator?

Yes there are many ways to to animate more objects sharing the same
path info and even same PathAnimator instance.
here some possible answers for you:
you can place more items along the path and animate them, just
using the
getPositionOnPath( p:Number3D, t:Number)
or like you do, making more PathAnimator instances, except in your
code you declare twice the path.
just declare it once and you should be fine. since you do not update
the path, you even can pass just a new path(aPath)
to the constructor. and yes you need in this case to update in
enterframe each instance PA.
or if you do not wish to make more instances PA,
just set the target to the path before updating it. (and eventually
the props you want for that object)
like here for instance this could be 3 wagons of a train...using the
same PA instance.
PA.targetobject(wagon#1)
PA.update(0.25);
PA.targetobject(wagon#2)
PA.update(PA.time - 0.05);
PA.targetobject(wagon#3)
PA.update(PA.time + 0.05);
now if you want to have more paths, then you need to make more PA
instances, each with own Path,
or just one PA and swap Path instances and set them to the PA. Since
you will have to update all targets etc, I think multiple PA's would
be better in this case.

Hey guys,
Is there support for multiple path animations? I am trying to path
animate two objects in my scene but the second object pathAnimator
always has a rotations property that is not null, where it should
be
null. This is causing the path Animator to break on update().
I have attached my source code here:
http://groups.google.com/group/away3d-dev/web/TestMultiplePathAnimato
...
Any ideas?
