How can I present a modal view and get rid of another at the same time?

Question

I am looking for a way to present a modal view animated, and make it look like the current modal view is presenting the new one in the animation, but behind the scenes ditch the old modal view (the new modal should have the same parent as the old one).

Presenting one on top of the other is not an option as there is an arbitrary number of views. This isn't a hierarchy, think of it like flash cards.

Thanks for any help.

You probably don't want to use view controllers for this, but UIView animation blocks. Take a look at +[UIView beginAnimations:context:] in the UIView docs.
