Unable to set effects in loaded application

Question

Hi All,
I'm ABLE to get UIComponents from loaded app and set their properties. It's loaded as a child in same domain.
I'm UNABLE to set any effects like Rotate or Glow on the same UIComponent.
I have mxml definitions of the effect i need in the parent app.
Have tried several ways to try to get it to work.
glowPulse.target = [eventTarget];
glowPulse.play
// TypeError: Error #1006: dispatchEvent is not a function
eventTarget.setStyle("showEffect", rotate );
// no effect
Is it possible or are you stuck with just setting simple properties and using functions defined in sub app like a  remote object service call?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

I don't quiet understand your question .. but, try this..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"  >
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
        import mx.controls.Button;
        import src.SharingComp;
            import mx.controls.Alert;
           import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
           private function createPopUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
                var button:Button = Button(event.currentTarget);
                button.setStyle("showEffect", "Fade");
                button.visible = false;
                button.visible = true;      
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Button x="31" y="56" label="Button" click="createPopUp(event)"/>
</mx:Application>
Hope this helps,
BaBo,
