Is it possible to 'push' or 'pull' like beads on a string?

See the attached file.  Is the described behavior possible with a dynamic block?

I do not believe so.

Maybe with Constraints and formulas but that too seems not doable.

I threw this together. Is this something you are referring to?

That's cool.  How did you get the block properties controlled by the grip stretch grip?  Whenever I have added a block properties table, all the movement grips go away...

Maybe  because the parameters in the chart need to be in a specific order. Refer to my last attachement and notice the chart and the dynamic block has 8 move parameter and are in numerical order from 8-1 (left to right) and the stretch parameter is at the end. 

 

I know the reason for the grips not showing is because the chart doesn't match the dynamic block.

I figured it out.  Only grips that are turned on AND have a different value for each row of the table will show.  If that last criterion wasn't present it would make for some excellent and vastly expanded functionality.
