Question about applying preset or settings in general

First off, i have been trying to setup a slide show from XML. I have the images coming in and the eff applied to the image.

I am currently trying out flash eff ( using the free version )

Here is the block of code

var myEffect:FlashEff2Code = new FlashEff2Code();
	myEffect.showAutoPlay = true;
	myEffect.hideDelay = 3;
                myEffect.preset = 3; 
	addChild(myEffect);
	myEffect._targetInstanceName = "mcSlideHolder";
	myEffect.showTransitionName = "com.jumpeye.flashEff2.symbol.sparkle.FESSparkle";
	myEffect.showTransition.tweenDuration = 1.5;

I tried adding the preset in the code above and when i try to test the movie i get an error:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property preset through a reference with static type FlashCodeEff2Code

Is this erro occuring because i am not using the premium or is it because of the code structure? IE: i need to setup show/hide variables as per the actionscript tutorial.

The reason i was using this format, i was hoping to be able to use XML to dynamically assign an animation i had in the library(not sure if that would work though).

Thanks!

Well, you get that error because there isn't any property preset on the flasheff component. You can set the preset property if exists only on the flasheff patterns.

that makes sense.

Thanks!
