Urgent help needed with Null Object

Hi,

I'm working on a Animated Map using After Effects.What I did so far:

- Creating a Null Object

- Creating a camera

- Link Camera to Null Object as a parent

- Set off (with the eyeball) the camera

- Put 3D on at all layers including the Null Object

- Active Camera is on

Then I started making a path for my map. First time I practiced and it was all good. Second time I did it exactly the same as before I ran in this problem:

Everytime I finish making a path with the Null Object and I put on the Camera eyeball again, my whole animation is moving, including the Null Object. Well, this is weird because I'm following a tutorial and nothing happens at his side. Now, it isn't  the problem to move back the animation, but I can't move the Null Object. I tried everything I can possibly imagine.

Please, anyone can help me? I really need to finish this quick.

If you turn the eyeball on the camera off then you are not using it.  Moving the knoll are moving the camera will not have any affect on the image.

I would suggest you spend a little time with the help files to learn how to animate cameras and 3-D layers. Just poking around making believe you know what you're doing will not get you very far fast.

Could you provide a screenshot of your timeline with the animations on?
