[F8] apply filter to mc drawn with api

[snowggirl]

Obvioulsy I'm blind.... WHY is't this code working...??!!!!!

import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_line",1);
	with ("mc_line"){
	lineStyle(20, 0xd1bca3,100);
    _root.moveTo(0, 160);
    _root.lineTo(Stage.width, 160);
    	
	// glow on the line
	var glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x003a68, 0.5, 0, 10, 5, 10,true);
	var myTempFilters:Array = mc_line.filters; 
	myTempFilters.push(glow);
	mc_line.filters = myTempFilters;
}

I've tried the glow-on-the-line part inside and outside the with statement.
The glow-on-the-line part works fine if I put an instance of a movie clip on the stage but not as above...

Why?!

I'd be greatful for a hint in the right direction...

I just found out what is wrong...

import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_line",1);
with ("mc_line"){
lineStyle(20, 0xd1bca3,100);
_root.moveTo(0, 160);
_root.lineTo(Stage.width, 160);

See the little nasty quotation marks around line after with....?
Take them away and it works like charm...

AS is fun but sometimes syntax just kills you, right?
