Vista - Animation not working in code

I set some animations in a WBA.
First I register the name:
Application.Current.MainWindow.RegisterName(myElement.Name, myElement);
When I try to set a storyboard and set an animation on this element I get
'The name 'myElementName' could not be resolved in the name scope of
'MS.Internal.AppModel.RootBrowserWindow' - the same error you get when the
name is not registered.

This code used to work in Sep CTP.

Did something change for Nov CTP regarding animations?

Thank you,
Valentin Iliescu

I must mention I am animating a custom control.

I found this also, when I was porting that famous chess program.

The chess program had a Chess3DPage class, which included an
"instantiation" of a separate class (GameBoard3D). In earlier CTPs, as
far as I can tell, it was OK for scope A to refer to a name in scope B;
things worked magically. That is what seems to have changed. I fixed
the chess program by ensuring that name resolution was always requested
within the scope in which the name was defined. I'd be glad to share
my repair with you, of course!

Thanks again.

I have changed the name scope and now it's working.
