Trouble with CC Page Turn

I am using Adobe After effects CS5.

I wanted to create a page turn with content on the back page. When I set the back page layer, and watched the animation, the content on the back page was backwards and I couldn't read my text.

Is CC page turn the wrong effect for what I need? Or is there a way for the back page image to be the right way?

Thanks for your time.

Precompose the back page layer then in the precomp apply the "Flop" preset.

As Dan said, pre-compose. Also you can flip layers easily by scaling them -100% in one direction or applying a suitable effect like Mirror or Transform.

Precomposing also allows you work around the next thing you;'ll discover about CC Page Turn--it stops at the edge of the layer. This makes the effect not-quite-so-realistic. Precomposing allows you to use a larger layer and give the effect some behaviors off the edge of the screen.
