Right, that indeed is precisely the solution I ended up using for JACTVocab 2.0. My implementation is very similar to what the OP described: I'm covering my window with a "glass" child window where I can use layers, and calling setContent on a layer with an animated transition. (The app gives the user a choice of transitions, and one of them is a push transition.) I discussed my thinking in an earlier thread here as I was developing the animation. At the time, Uli Kusterer suggested it might have been better to swap views and animate *that*. And I might still rewrite it that way. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
