EDIT: This is a handy script but it seems to me that you have to maipulate each point to an x,y co-ordinate then run the freeze script so that when the shape moves through these particular co-ordinates the points will not pass?. Is this correct?

Yes, you're right. Steps are:
  1. Draw in frame 0 as usual.
  2. At other frame morph your composition to the X or Y maximum positions. It can be different values for each point. It depends on what you want to achieve. For a drop effect you have to flatten the shapes (Scale tool).
  3. Being at that frame, run the menu/tool script. It would store the points positions.
  4. Remove the keyframe created (if desired)
  5. That's all, now animation!
