Is a good start. Basically you don't have Frames in Silverlight, you have time. In flash you can use a frames per second methodology but in SL you simply use seconds/miliseconds etc. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2010 10:40 AM To: 'ozSilverlight' Subject: Long running animation Folks, I want to create a sort of screen saver effect where a shape moves slowly around a control. The path it follows is calculated at start time by mixing random Sin/Cos functions, then the shape will follow the (x,y) coordinates of the function over time. It's like a moving parametric plot. I'm just not sure what coding technique to use for this effect. I'm guessing I'll need a frame-based animation, which I've never used before. It looks like it "pushes" events to you and you respond and move your elements, but it's not clear how you control the timing. I just want to run this idea past someone who's done it before and can confirm if I'm on the right track or not. I'll keep reading about frame-based animations in the meantime. Greg
