I see; well ultimately you can't flip anything like that in javascript,
BUT...  You may be able to achieve it thru trickery, now, I am just rambling
this off the top of my head, but what if you create four images.  Image 1
was the front side and when something is clicked, a link or something, that
content fades out, image 2 (an animated gif) replaces image 1 and when image
2's animation is complete (you will need to play with the timing between the
gif and javascript) you replace image 2 with image 3.  Now to go back to the
front side, you can just reverse it, but instead of image 2, put image 4
(the reverse animation gif).  You will need to preload each image for
smoothness.  I would love to see if you can do this, if not, let me know, I
may give it a run as a plugin.  I just need to see the video again.
