@Michael - I was thinking about that but I'm wondering how to structure it where I can handle any transition.
@Chet - Let's say that I'm creating an Image Gallery component for Flash Catalyst (not that I am - eh hem cough cough) and I want to let the user create the transitions in and out effects in Flash Catalyst how do I need to structure that?
