Hello,

Issue:  
I am trying to add a component scripting to create animation for a Template Repeater but I am not able to use the repeater as a component.

Task:  
I want to use system.gui.transform function to add a left to right animation for the template repeater from a button click. Button component scripting I am trying is something like this :

`component ` `=` `event.source.parent.getComponent(` `Template Repeater` `)`

`origX ` `=` `component.x`

`origY ` `=` `component.y`

`system.gui.transform(`

` ` `component,`

` ` `0` `, ` `0` `,`

` ` `duration` `=` `1000` `,`

` ` `callback` `=` `lambda` `: system.gui.transform(`

` ` `component,`

` ` `origX, origY,`

` ` `duration` `=` `2000` `,`

` ` `acceleration` `=` `system.gui.ACCL_FAST_TO_SLOW`

` ` `)`

`)`

Any support/ help will be appreciated.
