After Effects Tutorial: Orbit Loop

After Effects Tutorial: Orbit Loop

Creating a seamless moon orbit around a planet using shape layers in 2 minutes.

NO MASKS

( If you don't have the 'move anchor point' script, newer versions of after effects allow you to hold CTR/CMD and snap the points to the center. )

So I'm trying to attach a particle stream to one of the circles so I can have Orbiting particle streams like electrons orbiting an atomic nucleus. The problem is when I Attach the particle streamer it attaches to the Null instead of the circle, is there a way I can fix this issue?

I tried to use a text layer instead of shape layer and attached the text layer to Null object, but when it goes behind the circle shape layer, the text is still showing. It didn't hid behind the circle as it was supposed to. How do I fix it?
