I try to make a UIImageView open like a hatch, and under the "hatchView" its anoter imageView but when I start the animation its like the view under gets over and cover the animation, When the animation gets over the imageView the its getting visibel. its works fine if a remove the imageView thats under. Here is the code for animation view. - (void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *) event { if (!isHatchOpen) { if (hatchView.layer.anchorPoint.x != 0.0f) { hatchView.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.0f, 0.5f); hatchView.center = CGPointMake(hatchView.center.x - hatchView.bounds.size.width/2.0f, hatchView.center.y); } UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject]; CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:hatchView]; [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL]; [UIView setAnimationDuration:1]; [UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut]; [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES]; float pct = location.x / 320.0f; float rad = acosf(pct); CATransform3D transform = CATransform3DMakeRotation(-rad+5, 0.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f); transform.m14 = (1.0 / -2000) * acosf(pct); hatchView.layer.transform = transform; [UIView commitAnimations]; isHatchOpen = YES; } else { if (hatchView.layer.anchorPoint.x != 0.0f) { hatchView.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.0f, 0.5f); hatchView.center = CGPointMake(hatchView.center.x - hatchView.bounds.size.width/2.0f, hatchView.center.y); } [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL]; [UIView setAnimationDuration:1]; [UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveLinear]; [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES]; CATransform3D transform = CATransform3DMakeRotation(0, 0.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f); transform.m14 = 0; hatchView.layer.transform = transform; // Commit the changes [UIView commitAnimations]; isHatchOpen = NO; } } And here a add the Views hatchView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 1, frame.size.width-1, frame.size.height-2)]; [self addSubview:hatchView]; imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(1, 1, frame.size.width-2, frame.size.height-2)]; imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit; [self insertSubview:imageView belowSubview:hatchView];
