For myself, the videos seemed like a great idea, but not as useful as the Quickstarts. It came to not having enough time to watch the vidoes when I could read what I needed much faster. Having said that, some of the videos did come in useful, in particular for topics where the Quickstarts weren’t clear.

Hi Jesse, as a starting point, the two most helpful references when I was starting out were the Quickstarts, and the reference files that came with the SDK.
And another great resource, the Silverlight forums. The quick response from community members and actual Microsoft programmers has been of great help.

You keep mentioning Blend, but don’t forget Designer. Its also true that there is a small subset of Developers such as myself that love eye candy, and the introduction of the DesignerBlendVisual Studio workflow finally gives us what Flash developers have had for a while now.

The best you can achieve is drag from the desktop into a html textbox to get a file location. Thats about as good as it gets with drag and drop in the browser world.

HI,
I havent seen anything in the documentation that suggests that this is possible. And it seems unecessary for your situation, instead of using an image element whats wrong with using another media element, move it to the position you want it and then pause.
For example

Hi,
The short answer is no, U-Tube videos are encoded in the flash video format. This is not currently supported by silverlight, and doubfully ever would be. You could simply float a flash video player above your silverlight animation. Or potentialy you could proxy the file through a service such as this http://vixy.net/
