In QtQuick 1, path support is restricted to use in PathView.

In QtQuick 2, there are new PathAnimation and PathInterpolator elements which support exactly these needs. PathAnimation takes a QML item and a Path object, and animates the item along the path. PathInterpolator has a 'progress' property that can be animated, and then a QML item's x and y can be bound to the PathInterpolator's x and y values.
