I am working on an animation of a fish swimming.  I created the fish in 
the forms editor and was going to use "conform to path" to create 3 
states of animation and then ping pong between them (1,2,3,2,1,2)
----  see below.

(Top view of ascii fish)

             o   
1.   ______/       2.  =-------o   3. /------
                                               o

1. swishing left
2. swishing straight
3. swishing right

I have been trying to use conform to path with no luck.  My fish always 
gets streatched in the wrong direction.  What positions do the axis' of 
the path and object have to be in???  How can I make the path the same 
length as the fish?  (If I do get the fish to bend along the path, I 
usually get some path left over.... i.e.  The length of the path is 
longer then the fish.)

I hope this message in not as confusing to you imagine gurus as it reads 
to me......

Thanks for any advise.
