One hack described in this book is the pageflip effect.  I know this has been around for a looooong time…but i’m not able to find any good tutorials on how to do this…there are a few commercial pageflip effects available and look really very good and are also highly customizable…

I’m working basing on the idea provided in the book and trying to develop a more advanced pageflip application …

You can read the original tutorial from here.

The technique behind this is really simple once reading the tutorial…so what i’m trying to do now is add some extra effects and features to the raw effect created in the book. Here is the original sample:

In the next version i’ll try to add the reverse flipping and pages on both the sides…as you can see currently the pages are displayed only on the right hand side…
