Add a torso and this could almost be pornography! Scandalous!

Thanks, now I have that song running in my head yet again. ;)

Thanks for the xaml - always interesting!

The following may be well known but it was a surprise to me.

I wanted to slow down the pants animation so I changed the Storyboard Duration values.

Damned if I could get it to go slower; so I was forced to read the Silverlight documentation.

I found that if the Duration was not specified in the Animation, it effectively defaults to 1 second and it doesn't matter what the Storyboard Duration specifies.

I added Duration "0:0:10" to all the Double and Point Animations and that slowed things down to a nice crawl.

It occurs to me that it would be a good idea to always add Duration to an animation even if default is OK.

Dave, that is interesting. Is the 1 second default specified in the docs, or is the "effective" you mention just due to cpu speed or other variables?

"An animation uses its Duration property to determine its current value. If you do not specify a Duration value for an animation, it uses the default value of one second."

Ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc189019%28VS.95%29.aspx#controlling_the_begin_time_of_animations

It was probably a mistake to use the word 'effective' but Duration has a value 'Automatic' and I wasn't sure how that fit in.

I am not clear on what happens if Duration is specified in both the Storyboard and the Animation but I can live with that for now.
