Animate contents of a stack/card to turn like a page

[mfstuart]

Hi Richard,
I checked that out. Nice :) I didn't know that QT was responsible for the
effects.
I applied it using the "visual effect..." commands. 
Using:
  visual effect scroll down very fast
  go to card 2
This would simulate to a degree.

But nothing like capturing an image of the card, then applying a page-curl
transition to that would be awesome.

Thanx,
Mark Stuart
