Hey, I came across this post while searching for help with fixing Microsoft Silverlight. I’ve recently switched browsers from Chrome to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. After the change I seem to have a problem with loading websites that use Microsoft Silverlight. Everytime I go on a page that requires Microsoft Silverlight, my computer doesn’t load and I get a “npctrl.dll” error. I can’t seem to find out how to fix it. Any help getting Microsoft Silverlight to work is very appreciated! Thanks

I will modify the Tweened library in that direction and let developer to say if they want storyboards to be referenced in Resources property or not. After all we can avoid to add them to resources

Hi Francisco thanks it’s cool to see that some one in the world is using Tweened. I will release a new version of it for Silverlight 3, a kind of wrapper

Is the best tweener that I have found for Silverlight 2.

I have modified source and put a method to remove Resources, because Tween don’t work on a loop function that will be instanciated:

public void CloseTween()
{
Application.Current.Resources.Remove(StoryBoardNameOut);
Application.Current.Resources.Remove(StoryBoardNameIn);
}

So ok I understood the problem. In fact there are of two kind :
1 – the first concern that in the Try { }
you have to put that code :
t2t.ContinueTo(moveLocation);
//tweenObjects[mc].AddSequences(t2t); that line was wrong I think
tweenObjects[mc].Start();
2 – the second point is known behavior of Silverlight player (i think). in fact when a storyboard targets a renderTransform property, it is just impossible to get the actual value of that property. I don’t know exactly why… The solution consists in using TweenableProperties.Left instead of X. So you will have access to updated value for that kind of properties. I send you the project updated now.

Hi,
great job, its about time for a nice working tweening class for silverlight!

i am tring to implement your tweener and found out few difficulties,
i have a sample code that shows the bugs, it is currently present at http://www.codemcode.com/sltween/movableXap.rar

it acts strange when you try to move few objects to different positions, just play with it for a minute, and you’ll see my point.

waiting for your reply,
Ady.
