I suppose this is more of an animation question.  I have a null animated (via path contraint) around a path in the front viewport.  I parented a Spotlight to the null, the spotlight is projecting a texture.  At certain percentages along the path the image flips upside down.  I am not sure what to change in order to fix this. 

thanks
Phil

turn on up vector checkbox. y up usually is appropriate

If you are talking about the direction constraint up vector for the spot, isn’t that on by default.  I believe it still fips the image.  Anytime I go above or below the target it flips (with it on).

I forgot to mention I un-parented it from the path ctrl null, and I get the flipping when
moving the spot above or below the interest in Y.
