I'm trying to create a templated silverlight control that has a simple animation (swap a few color properties).

An example would be a control that is similar to the 'questions' menu item in stackoverflow. So the consumer of the control can specify the background color and the background color for the mouseover event.

I've run into the issue that I can't use template binding for a storyboard animation (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1336689/is-it-possible-to-use-templatebinding-in-a-storyboard-in-silverlight). Whats the best work around to this ?

Cheers,

MrT
