Storyboard crash
Folks, in the XAML and code below I'm getting the crash "Cannot resolve TargetProperty RenderTransform.Children[0].Angle on specified object." It all looks correct to me, can anyone see what's wrong? This code was copied from a WPF app where it's working fine and creates a nice "spinout" effect on a control. In my SL4 app it dies -- Greg var spinout = (Storyboard)grid.Resources["StorySpinout"]; spinout.Begin(); ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight

Silverlight 5 can flow between text boxes. I forget the tag.

I have a base class for all of my controls containing the help icon, so it's convenient to put the clump of ugly code in there. However, the result is quite nice as the icon pulsates up and down as you mouse over. Then I remembered I forgot something else about Silverlight ... there are no document classes (FlowDocument, etc). I was going to format the help text as nice documents, but I'll have to find another way. I think my choices are limited to TextBlock and for formatting. What else is there?

RE: Animating an image
So Shane, thanks, I can use triggers! I just had this mental warning that triggers weren't in SL4 ... Ah but I see you're using interactivity, which I can't recall using before. It looks like I'm missing out on a few "tricks". I'll paste your code into the app later and see how it goes. I hope you're right and can avoid procedural code. I presume you created that XAML using Blend, which you may recall gives me bowel motions. I'll let you know how it goes. Grant, don't forget that you're on the other side of my screen, so what looks left to me in front of the screen is on the right for all of you out there ;-) Greg ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
