title: MVVM- Trigger Storyboard in the View Model in Silverlight
body: <p>I have a couple of Storyboards in my view that I would like to trigger from the ViewModel if possible. Is there a simple way or elegant way of doing this. Here is what I am trying to do.</p>
  
  <p>Person Clicks on a Button-->RelayCommand (In the ViewModel), the Relay Command should then play the storyboard.  Also one more thing, I would like to also trigger the storyboard animation by itself in the ViewModel without any interaction. </p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;i:Interaction.Triggers&gt;
   &lt;i:EventTrigger EventName="MouseLeftButtonDown"&gt;
      &lt;cmd:EventToCommand Command="{Binding ButtonPress}"                                                     CommandParameterValue="RedButtonLight"&gt;
      &lt;/cmd:EventToCommand&gt;
           &lt;/i:EventTrigger&gt;
            &lt;/i:Interaction.Triggers&gt; 
  </code></pre>
