Transition fade effect does not show at beginning

Question

I'm using TabNavigator and added fade transition between the
tabs.
I can not see the transition effect on the first tab of
TabNavigator when page shows up at very first time.
The transition effect does show up when I change tabs from
one to other. I understand that when accessing
the page at very first time, there is no transition. But I
still want to see the fade effect on the pictures.
Is there a way to make the fade effect showing when the page
is displayed at very first time?

Amy, I guess I could test this rather than ask, but you seem
to have been down this path. So one can not have the component's
visible set to false and then on applicationComplete change it to
visible and employ a showEffect?
You could do that as well, but if have your component's
visibility=false in mxml, you'll have to change it to true every
time you want to actually see/edit it using the FB design mode. So
unless you never use that, it makes sense to just do what Amy
mentioned before or a variation. You could probably also set the
visibility to false, and then immediately set it to true in a
creationComplete event handler, but that's just getting
silly.
