Image file should be in the same folder as the XAP file (“ClientBin” folder). If it is not the case, you must specify the path to the file (ie http://www.yoursite.com/images/bird.png).
Actually, the XAP file is a ZIP file with different extension. You can change its extension and unzip it.

I read books, web and stuff who described that you could do fun things with Silverlight with VisualStudio 2008 – C Sharp of course. But it appears not.
I saw some people using C Sharp Express and where I saw the Silverlight design, but there is not. It is not design, but preview. It was so in Beta, it looks like.

I feel that I must have MS Expression Blend to work with. How do I otherwise complex curves and stuff. You do it maybe, but not me. So I quit.

Flash bug?
I was looking for Invader Game online, and found quite many. Nostalgic reasons. Yes, I just wanted to play it.
Game made by Java worked fine, but not by Flash. It really did not work at all. Entering the Arrow-keys, ESC, Enter, Space and stuff, did nothing. I could use the mouse buttons but no keys. No Flash games worked! So I thought that it must be something wrong with my computer. And it was indeed.
I use Key Scrambling software so that I would not leave many traces of me when I’m using the Internet. You must protect yourself by threats, right? So do I. In Java captures keystroke correctly with Key Scrambling software ON, but Flash cannot. It must be BUG i Flash.
There will be problems for Flash programmers, not right now maybe, but later, when many people begin to use the Key-Scrambling software for their own safety.

LMMS – Linux MultiMedia Studio
It is also available for Windows.

LMMS allows you to produce music with your computer. It looks like FL Studio®. You can load VST, built in SoundFont player. You can import MIDI files as well. Now you do not need expensive seqencer anymore.

LMMS is a freeware.
