Hi Guys,

I'm currently trying to get flip to work with scatterview items, and I'm having some trouble conceptually with it, using a plugin called Thriple (http://thriple.codeplex.com/).

Essentially, a 2 sided thriple control looks like this:

<thriple:ContentControl3D
  xmlns:thriple="http://thriple.codeplex.com/"
  Background="LightBlue"
  BorderBrush="Black"
  BorderThickness="2"
  MaxWidth="200" MaxHeight="200"
 >
<thriple:ContentControl3D.Content>
<Button 
  Content="Front Side"
  Command="thriple:ContentControl3D.RotateCommand"
  Width="100" Height="100"
  />
</thriple:ContentControl3D.Content>
<thriple:ContentControl3D.BackContent>
<Button 
  Content="Back Side"
  Command="thriple:ContentControl3D.RotateCommand"
  Width="100" Height="100"
  />
</thriple:ContentControl3D.BackContent>
</thriple:ContentControl3D>

What I'm struggling to grasp is if I should be making 2 separate ScatterView templates to bind to the data I want, and then each one would be the "front" and "back" of a scatterview item OR should i make 2 separate ScatterView items which are bound to the data I want, which is then bound to the "back" and "front" of a main ScatterView item?

If there is a better way of using doing flip animations with ScatterViewItem's, that'd be cool too!

Thanks!
