Is this doable? I cannot find the attributes of a control vertex ie. translateX, translateY etc
I want a curve to move as a whole with respect to the changes to a control vertex, ie. make it look as if it is sticking together.

Can anyone help?

woah again maya expressions!, lol, i really dont know dude.. i know you can connect a positional value to the object to another of the objects attributes (eg, xscale = yposition) but handling a objects vertex with a translate im not too sure, it probably is possible through some custom commands in MEL but ive never touch the stuff, lol.. sorry dude cant help you there.
