Layer positions are absolute. They can't change so your objects must.

You most probably can divide your tween into two parts one above the

item you want to circle and one below. At the points you want to divide

the top from the bottom insert keyframes and tween.


Say the animation is from 1 to 40 and the top half should end at frame

20 then put a key frame in frame 21 first. then put a keyframe in frame

20. Move both frames 21 and 40 to a new layer below the center object

and tween between them. If you selected the right points and layers -

voila!! otherwise try again (hopefully you will understand now).
