Using Linkbar objects and EventListeners

Question

The code:
Note, I left out most object specific details, like width and
height etc...
var pl:Panel = new Panel();
var lb:LinkBar = new LinkBar();
lb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, httprequestObject);
var vs:ViewStack = new ViewStack();
var cv:Canvas = new Canvas();
cv.label = "navigation button";
vs.addChild(cv);
lb.dataProvider = vs;
pl.addChild(lb);
this.addChild(pl);
public function httprequestObject(e:MouseEvent):void{
Alert.show("success!");
For whatever reason this doesn't work. Suggestions,
thoughts.

Actually here is the complete code incase anyone is
interested in trying it...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.containers.Canvas;
import mx.containers.ViewStack;
import mx.controls.LinkBar;
import mx.containers.Panel;
import mx.controls.Alert;
public function init():void{
var pl:Panel = new Panel();
pl.width = 200;
pl.height = 200;
var lb:LinkBar = new LinkBar();
lb.percentWidth = 100;
lb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, httprequestObject);
var vs:ViewStack = new ViewStack();
vs.percentWidth = 100;
var cv:Canvas = new Canvas();
cv.percentWidth = 100;
cv.label = "navigation button";
pl.addChild(lb);
lb.dataProvider = vs;
vs.addChild(cv);
addChild(pl);
public function httprequestObject(e:MouseEvent):void{
Alert.show("success!");
