Im making a text go along a motion path. Im having a problem with my text not stay on the path the right way. when it goes around the path the pivot point doesnt stay on the path. how do i get it to stay moving on the path. its text on a ep curve that spirals.

I figured out the problem myself but Ill leave the post up for others to see. What happened is that when I made the text from the create text menu it automatically puts the text under a group node. I didnt know it did that so I was selecting all the letters and grouping them. When I tried to play the animation the text wasnt staying on the path. All I needed to do was use the group node that was already made to follow the motion trail. So I was basically getting a double transform effect that was messing me up.
