How can I make a rollover, where when you mouse over, a scripted drop shadow appears using the DropShadowFilter? Thanks!

import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;  
canada.onRollOver= function() {  
var filter:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(5, 5, 0x000000, 0.8,5, 5, 1, 3, false, false, false);  
var filterArray:Array = new Array();  
filterArray.push(filter);  
this.filters = filterArray;  
}  
\*\* canada.onRollOut= function(): Void {  
}\*\*
