Ok so I have this mxml component:

<mx:Canvas x="0" y="2" width="469" height="22"
id="filterHideCanvas"
visible="true">
<mx:LinkButton id="showFilterForm" label="Filter Results"
click="displayFilterForm();"/>
</mx:Canvas>

and my click event handler function:

public function displayFilterForm():void
{
//Alert.show("sdf");
var move:Move = new Move();
move.xFrom = 0;
move.xTo = 150;
move.easingFunction = Bounce.easeOut;
move.duration = 1000;

showFilterForm.setStyle("showEffect", move);
}

But no animation takes place! can anyone help me!! Thank you
