instead of the showEffect, use creationCompleteEffect. Show effect will only play when the control / container visible property is set to true, which doesn't happen on initial load. I have had this problem before and it seems confusing. Logically, one would think the show effect is the correct effect to use, but it really only works when the item is in a TabNavigator, Viewstack, Accordian... it's because those set the containers visible property when changing from one view to the other, in turn, causing the show effect to play. Play around with the show effect by putting some containers in a viewstack, you'll see the difference. Also, the creation complete only plays once. The showEffect can play as much as you move around in the viewstack :)
