check out http://www.trapcode-people.net/filedetails.php?fileid=14, they have the project file there..and as for the path, create a light call it Motion Path 1 and under Physics-Air in trapcode particular, drag down and use Motion Path 1, now ur light becomes ur motion path, then create a null object with the neccessary mask( for the motion path) drawn as u wish(x,y and z)then just parent the light or link the the position of the light to the position of the null object..hope that helps!
