Silverlight 1.0 RC - bug fixed!

Yes, RC1 of Silverlight 1.0 has been released (in case you missed the announcements).

Thankfully the breaking changes haven't really affected the stuff I've been playing with - it's been a fairly painless change to swap in the updated Silverlight.js file and tweak the createSilverlight() function (Sys.* has been removed - shouldn't clash with ASP.NET AJAX now):

Silverlight.createObjectEx({
    source: 'Scene.xaml', 
    parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverlightControlHost"),
    id:'SilverlightControl', 
    properties:{
        width:'100%', 
        height:'100%', 
        framerate:'24', 
        enableFramerateCounter:false, 
        version:'1.0'},
    events:{
       onError:null, onLoad:null, onResize:null
    },
    context:null
});

What's even better is that it fixes the bug on this 400-element animation. The beta used to just 'freeze' about two-thirds of the way through the animation: all the dots stopped moving until the timeline 'finished', then they'd all disappear (jump straight to end). Now it works seemlessly - time to try it with more animated objects!
