I would like to be able to perform a card flip animation from one half of the device screen to the other when a user taps the screen. I have never used animations before so I am at a loss of how to accomplish this. I referenced http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kevinash/archive/2011/12/21/flipping-card-animation-for-windows-phone-7-using-expression-blend.aspx but I do not know how to modify the solution so appropriately. What I ultimately need is to be able to flip through an entire deck of cards in this manner.
