[flexcoders] Fade Effect and StartDelay Issue/Bug?

[Jurgen Beck]

Seems like I'm having an issue with the Fade effect and using startDelay.

I have the following Fade effect defined:

    <mx:Fade id="fadeIn" duration="200" alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0" 
startDelay="1000"/>

This is used by a canvas component:

    <mx:Canvas id="myCanvas"
        width="400" height="400"
        visible="{cb1.selected}"
        showEffect="{fadeIn}"
        hideEffect="{fadeOut}">
        <mx:Button label="test"/>
    </mx:Canvas>

cb1 is a checkbox to play around with the fading in and out of the 
canvas. I'm starting out with the Canvas supposed to be invisible 
(checkbox unchecked).

Here is the problem:

When the visible property for the canvas is turned to true, Flex makes 
the canvas visible instantaneously and then after 1 second does the fade 
in effect. What should be happening is that the canvas is staying 
invisible and then doing the fade in.

Anyone run into this problem? Seems like a bug in Flex to me, but then 
again, I could be overlooking something.

Thanks,

Jurgen
