In this third part of a five-part series, we'll further explore the animation capabilities in Blend. To make the chicken cluck, we'll create a timeline as a resource that is invoked from JavaScript (some code involved). We'll also synchronize an MP3 audio file with the animation.

In this fourth of a five-part series, we'll create a sequence, wired up through JavaScript, that visualizes the evolution of the chicken from the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Tim Sneath shows how you can use Expression Blend and Silverlight to overlay a video with an image advertisement, with animation to toggle the advert on and off.

In this video we build off the same concept and display timed overlays using media markers within a video file. We look at using Expression Media Encoder and Expression Blend 2 Preview to encode a video file with markers, and using Silverlight to monitor when those markers are triggered and ...

In this lesson we design an interface for a Silverlight video player, using the preview release of Expression Blend version 2. We place the video within a MediaElement control, use drawing tools to create a Play button, and add animation to make the button disappear.

In this final part of a five-part series, you'll see how to bring a video into Blend and create a button on top of the video to play it.

In this video Shawn Wildermuth shows us how to create Silverlight JavaScript applications using Microsoft Expression Blend. We see how Blend provides a user interface for creating the XAML needed to add a clipping path to an image.

In this second of a five-part series, the animation tools of Blend are introduced. Using the chicken drawn in the earlier screencast, we'll add animation onto the stage using transforms, both a scale transform and a translation. No code is touched in the animation of this chicken.

In this first of a five-part series, you'll see how to use the drawing tools in Blend to unite and divide geometries so as to create a chicken. Covers concepts like the path tool, path combining, fills and strokes.
