Q:
Is there an equivalent of EnterFrame event in Expression Blend/WPF, If not how do we get around it?
A:
CompositionTarget.Rendering is called every frame. You could also use timer such as DispatcherTimer.

+1, Silverlight handles animation very differently from Flash - arguably, more efficiently, but makes some tasks harder than in AS. Storyboards should be the way to go; however, even in Flash, framerate dependent scripting shouldn't be used unless it really is suitable for the task, and you don't care about the _actual_ time spent each frame, because it _will_ be variable. Silverlight disposes of this problem altogether by enforcing (to some extent) time-based animation/scripting.
