Question:Elementwise matrix multiplication fails. Why?

Consider the following code:

LM := [
   Matrix([[1,2],[3,4]]),
   Matrix([[5,6],[7,8]])
];
A := Matrix([[0,1],[1,0]]);
map(x -> A . x,LM);
A .~ LM;

where LM is a list of two matrices (just a test example), and A is some (test)matrix that I want to multiply onto each of these two matrices from the left, say. The map-construction works, as expected, but the elementwise operation .~ produces an error. Why?
