RE: [flexcoders] Cannot get any effects to work

[Iko Knyphausen]

Try the same without curlies {}, i.e. use showEffect=”move1” instead of “{move1}”. If that does not work, you can always use the target property in the effect, and run a play() on the effect from any handler, like the show handler.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of dorkie dork from dorktown Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 10:56 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Cannot get any effects to work   How come this code does not work? It seems straigt forward. I just want the header to fade in and slide in from the top when the application first starts. Why does flex hate me?
