Animating text in windows phone textblock

Question

please help on these I landed myself into wholly new topic that i have no idea of how it goes

 

I want to animate text so that it moves from top of textblock to the bottom with time 

I also want the text to be blinking while it moves downwards.

 

sounds fun to me to do it but spent some days trying using  StoryBoard and doubleAnimation

no avail

please note am reading the text from a file

the code  xaml

 

<TextBlock x:Name="Animatedtext"
TextAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="222" Margin="10,42,10,402" TextWrapping="NoWrap" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="460"
CharacterSpacing="0"
FontSize="29">
<TextBlock.Projection>
<PlaneProjection/>
</TextBlock.Projection>
<TextBlock.Foreground>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FFEEFF00" Offset="0.719"/>
<GradientStop Color="Yellow" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</TextBlock.Foreground>
</TextBlock> 

 

The csharp timer

public void Timer_tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String myvariable;

String myword;

thatword = callmymethod.Mymethod(5);
Animatedtext.Text = thatword;
myword = tlbRandomWords.Text;
