Hi I was using the sample found here for fading in a background image. Everything is working fine its just that before the fade in animation starts the image shows briefly then the animation starts.
No Background => Full Image => Image Disappears => Animation Starts =>
Full Image
Note I did add the exact same code as him but I still get this result. I did notice that his sample was written for WP7 7.0 which I’m guessing is the reason it’s not loading exactly like the example he provided.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Well even though it takes about a second and a half extra to load, I finally got it to stop blinking. Basically I would save the file to isolated storage, and then load the file from isolated storage instead of loading the image directly to the background after it finished downloading.
I got the idea based on the fact that the sample of loading the background using a local image worked perfectly.
Like I said it takes a little longer to download because of the saving and loading from isolated storage, but it works well.
