title: how to animate launch image once app has finished launching
body: <p>I was wondering how I can manipulate the launch image of an iPhone app? I have put launchImage.png into my plist file (under Launch image (iPhone)) and when the app starts I would like to animate this launch image out of the view, like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>launchImage.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(-CGRectGetWidth(launchImage.frame), 0);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But how do I access an image which I've defined in my plist?</p>
  
  <p>Or will I simply load another instance of the image and then animate it out of the way? This appears a little cumbersome, especially as the app has already loaded the launch image.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!</p>
