Shine Draw

This sample is requested by unruledboy couple weeks ago. He asked if I could implement a application similar to the Flickr mini image gallery. Although the logic is very simple, it provides a very nice and comfortable effect.

Comparison

Flash implementation: 1 hour
Silverlight implementation: 1 hour 30 minutes (Implemented First)
What’s the difference?

• frame rate per second: frameRate [AS3] vs MaxFrameRate [C#]

Source codes

•   Flickr Image Gallery [Flash 9, AS3] (115.9 KiB, 1,892 hits)
•   Flickr Image Gallery [Silverlight 2, C#] (154.8 KiB, 2,575 hits)

Silverlight

frame rate per second: frameRate [AS3] vs MaxFrameRate [C#]

In a loosely compassion, Flash Animation is considered as Frame Based while Silverlight Animation is considered as Time Based. Nevertheless, it’s still possible to change the frame rate per second (fps) for both of the technology.

// AS3
// Change the Frame Rate
stage.frameRate = 24;

The default frame rate for Silverlight is 60. (I have no idea why the default value is so high.) Most of the time, you have to set it into a smaller value. Very often, I will set it to 24 fps.

// C#
// Change the Frame Rate
 App.Current.Host.Settings.MaxFrameRate = 24;
