Further investigation has shown that when the custom layer-hosting view is placed in the parent layer-backed container view, the parent view internally discards the flipping transform of the child view's root layer on each call to its -setFrame (which can be quite often).
I have cured this problem by subclassing CALayer of the root layer of the custom layer-hosting view and overriding its following methods: - (void)setTransform:(CATransform3D)m { CATransform3D flipTransform = CATransform3DIdentity; flipTransform.m22 = -1.0; [super setTransform:flipTransform]; } - (void)setAnchorPoint:(CGPoint)point { [super setAnchorPoint:CGPointMake(0.0, 1.0)]; } This seems to work pretty well so far. If I come up with any problem, I'll post it here. And also it doesn't seem like a bad hack (unlike calling private methods). What do you think?
