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.
December 4th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
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!

Skip Hop Studio Diaper Tote Bag is awesome.So numerous pockets - and also not those small, worthless pockets, either. All of the storage compartments are a excellent dimension and truly aid keep every thing organized. The handles are a wonderful length and fit nicely more than the shoulder; the tackle straps also remain place on my arm, which is critical when you are having a newborn. The bag appears great, as well. Not as well fancy, but not as well casual. (I have it in black) The material is soft (can’t consider of a much better word) so it is straightforward to squeeze in to tight spaces - but yet it’s sturdy. I’ve a Fleurville Lexi carrier and I love it, too, but that tote is type of stiff. I think that Skip*Hop may turn into my everyday handbag. It’s a little bit significant - so if you’re not really in to large bags this might be superior as an over-night diaper handbag.
