Deal a Card with a flip and move

[ksell341]

I am trying to flip a UIImageView from one Image to another Image using:

[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFl ipFromRight forView:self cache:YES];

While doing this I am also moving the center of the Image View. This is causing the Image to appear like its one side stays in place while the other side moves to the opposite side. I am trying to make it look like someone picked a card up starts moving it and during the move have the object flip over. Does anyone know of a way to make the object appear to do a 3D flip while moving without using a 3D object?

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by your description. I use this same technique and my issue with it is that the card seems to kind of disappear in the middle section of the animation. It sounds like you might need to break the animation down into the different parts you want. For example, you can simulate picking up a card using touchesBegan, touchesMoved and a CGAffineTransformMakeScale to make the card larger. If this is an automated "flip and move" then think thru what the parts of the animation look like and chain the animations together using setAnimationDidStopSelector inside an existing animation.

My issues are the same as yours with the "flip and move" that looks like it disappears in the middle of the move then comes back on the other side. I got the card to pick up and move around and animate in a way that looks good.

When I try chaining the animations together I can only get it to flip in place and the move or move then flip. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to combine these to "flip while moving" without the image disappearing in the middle of the animation.

I suspect we'll need to dip into CAAnimation. Check out the "Core animation programming guide" in the help file. I just haven't had time to try it and I'm calling it "good enough" for now.

Use an animation-block with an UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft for flipping the image and at the same time fire an NSTimer to do the move...
