It has been more than a month that I didn’t post a new image transition effect. That’s because it’s hard to figure out a nice idea.
Therefore, if you have any good suggestion on Image Transition, please let me know.
The images used in the applications are created by me via the Facebook Application Pencake Ecard.

Flash implementation: 30 minutes (Implemented First)
Silverlight implementation: 30 minutes

Your Silverlight code:
private void removeAllChildren()
{
while(Children.Count > 0){
Children.RemoveAt(0);
}
while(_gridImages.Count > 0){
_gridImages.RemoveAt(0);
}
}
should probably be
private void removeAllChildren()
{
Children.Clear();
_gridImages.Clear();
}

thx for pointing out that.
Actually, someone told me that before, but I am just too lazy to update that part. I think I will enchance all the coding next time when reusing the old code.

Your silverlight demos never show up for some reason. I wonder if you have the required version number wrong or something. I have the latest version…

I have the same problem. Something is wrong.

Just want to confirm, that for some reason the Silverlight demo isn’t shown. And I have the latest version of SL installed.

Me too…

ok. I got it. That’s because I have set the param
in the embed tag. This will cause some display problems in Firefox and Safari.December 4th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Hm.. I don’t think it’s the problem of this website. I’ve got no problem at all in IE or FF.

btw. I’ve got the latest version of silverlight running on xp pro sp3

I’m getting the error message “The name CompositionTarget does not exist in the current context.” What could be causing that?

How can i load the images from flashvars? In this example the images are within the fla (”image1″, “image2″, “image3″). How can i refer to the root from “ImageTransitionEffect”??

Hi,
I downloaded your file for use but I was not able to customize the image size. I changed the image size in GridImageAnimator.as file accordingly but that doesn’t work. I tried changing the the NUM_COLUMN & NUM_ROW variables & it does not work too..I couldn’t figure out what I need to do with it, so I need your help…
Just some info on my image:
IMAGE_WIDTH = 935;
IMAGE_HEIGHT = 265;
NUM_COLUMN = 18;
NUM_ROW = 5;
Thank you!
