I created a ball wich i want to animate.
I grouped the ball to ballTranslate and animated the x-as part.
Then I created a group between the ball and the ballTranslate called ballScale.
Here I animate the squashing of the ball when it hits the groundplane.
But I also want to create an expression that reacts on the scaling and affects the balls form.

This is my expression.

sx=1/sy, but maya gives an error that it's already in use for keying or an expression.
I have no idea wat to do about it.

Well, I'm not too good with expressions, this is probably not the answer you're looking for but have you tried doing it with driven keys ? this is probably the easiest way to get that effect you're after...

Hope this helps :)
