  Animating an object along a path

  Mar 19, 2008 05:30 AM | LINK

  I am wanting to animate an object along a path. Is it possible to create an animate that can take a Path object that has multiple BezierSegment objects in the PathFigures collection?

   If not, I'm guesing I would just need to use SplineKeyFrames but it would be much easier to just setup a Path that identifies how the X/Y should transform and then run the animation against the Path object.

   Thanks

  I recall reading a few days back that animation along a path was not yet available but cannot locate the source. 

  It is something I wanted to do, so I simply drew a path and positioned the object at successive points on the path to make a crude approximation of that.

  Hi:

    Unfortunately it's not supported yet. To achieve your requirement you might have to use a timer and do the animation yourself.

  I've managed to do this with a bit of a nasty workaround contrary to what MS/everyone else says.

   WPF supports animation along a path so what you can do is create a storyboard in a wpf project then copy the XAML to a new Silverlight project.

  You will need to do some hackery to get rid of WPF specific tags though but it does work
