Paths

I read through the tgb doc and found the paths tutorial, easy to understand could do that stuff fine. What I want is for my card dealing animation is to set up paths to the players spots, spawn cards on those spots and deal them out to the players to make it look like it's dealing (even though the hand has already been delt out and decided, this is just for looks).

So it tried something like this first

%objCount = t2dScene.getSceneObjectCount();
%objList = t2dScene.getSceneObjectList();


  for(%i=0;%i<%objCount;%i++)
   {
          %obj=getWord(%objList,%i);
          if(%obj.isPath == 1 && %obj.pathNumber == 1)
          {
	   %path=%obj;
           }

   }

    %path.attachObject(%card, 30 , 1 , 1 , 0 , "WRAP" , 1 , false);

I defined the isPath and pathNumber in TGB as fields in the path so I could find it in the search. %card I tried doing 2 ways. I tried creating a new static sprite without giving it a specific location to be created and then hoping it would be attached to the path with that command at the end, card never showed up. I also tried having the card be off screen and be part of the level creation.
The strange thing is when I do it that way and run attachobject, the card comes from off screen towards the first node then when it hits the first node goes to the next one and stops (I have it stop on purpose with the 1 for loop). I thought attachObject would actually attach the card to the path not make it travel to the path and then attach it to the path. These were my experiments to get a handle on paths in script so I could get my deal animation under way. I searched through the path reference for any other commands but this seems to be the only one.
I also tried in desperation to mount the card to the path and then run attach object but the mount command mounts it to the middle of the path between the two nodes not on one of them.
