Basically, I’m trying to replicate the realistic flipping effect of the Clock Widget on the Mac.  
 ![](http://www.dashboardlineup.com/images/articles/20050412130908606_1.jpg)

where I can put content on the “back” of a movie clip and access it by “flipping” over the  
original movie clip.

I read that widgets are basically just html and javascript.

does anybody know how to do this since Javascript and Actionscript are similar?

thank you in advance…🙂
