Help with Effects conflicting with Legends

[vebazzo]

Hello, everybody! I have recently started to work with FLEX and I am having some problems with the showing of effects in barcharts when using Legends.

Basically, if I don't define a Legend for my barchart, the "SeriesSlide" Effect works properly. However, if I set the dataProvider for the Legend, the effect no longer appears.

The code is shown below. The data itself is not included, but I think that only with the script the problem will be spotted by those with more experience in Flex. I thank you all already!
