The FlipViewTransition class performs a simple flip transition for views. The flip transition supports two modes (card and cube) as well as an optional direction (up, down, left, or right).

The default duration of a FlipViewTransition is 400 ms.

Note:Create and configure view transitions in ActionScript; you cannot create them in MXML.
