Curve stroke question

Hi all, i have a question concerning the stroking of paths.

I want to create a brush that is a line of e.g. 5 pixels in height, and 30 in lenght.
I want to draw a path and stroke it with my custom brush. However i want to have space between the brush strokes.

For example
www.torn.be/kisaragi/bad.jpg

That is do-able with the spacing options in the photoshop 7 brush palette right ?

When i have the brush (like the url above) i would like the brush to follow the path i've drawn.
like this:
www.torn.be/kisaragi/good.jpg

Is this possible ? for my brush to adapt itself to my curve?

Thank you!
