In the code editor, write the code to use the data models.
Use states and transitions

QML states typically describe user interface configurations, such as the UI elements,
their properties and behavior and the available actions. For example, you can specify
different states of a screen to allow users to view and edit the properties of an
object:

\section2 Adding User Interaction Methods
You can add the following basic interaction methods to scenes:

items can be flicked horizontally or vertically.
\o \l{http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.7-snapshot/qml-flipable.html}{Flipable}
items can be flipped between their front and back sides by using rotation,
state, and transition.

\o \l{http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.7-snapshot/qml-mousearea.html}{Mouse Area}
enables simple mouse handling.
\endlist
To add interaction methods, drag and drop a \gui {Focus Scope} or \gui {Mouse Area}
to the screen. In the code editor, add signal handlers to execute when users select
the scope or area. Signal handlers allow actions to be taken in response to an event.
