Polling Curve Coordinates

Hi All,

Say I have a curve and I have a sphere. I make the sphere follow the curve.

As time goes by, I can poll the sphere's xyz position to get where it is at any point in time. My question is this:

Is there another way to do this? I really just want the curve xyz coordinate for a given point in time (the sphere is acting as a dummy in this situation). Creating a sphere then "scanning" it over time seems so combersome.

Thankx
