Maybe this is what you're trying to do?

Thanks! That's exactly what I was trying to get.

Hmm, Murphy strikes again! I tried putting the script into my project file - fail. I tried putting the curves into a blank file - fail. Now I tried redrawing them manually, and it seems to work. The first 2 built frames are drawn by hand over the imported curves. For the third one, I selected the imported curves, and got this...

 

I'm going to redraw them manually, but I'm really wondering why this happens. Doesn't really make sense...

The curves have to go into the explode component in a specific order.  That may be the problem.

I selected them in the same order.

Only the curves I drew manually worked, the ones that were imported failed for some reason.

Can you post the file with the imported curves?

just make all curves with the same direction (flip)
