You can create a Paralell effect in MXML, as the following example shows:

  <mx:Parallel id="WipeRightUp">
    <mx:children>
      <mx:WipeRight duration="1000"/>
      <mx:WipeUp duration="1000"/>
    </mx:children>
  </mx:Parallel>
  
  <mx:VBox id="myBox" hideEffect="{WipeRightUp}" >
    <mx:TextArea id="aTextArea" text="hello"/>
  </mx:VBox>
  

Notice that the <mx:children> tag is optional.

Starting a Parallel effect in ActionScript is usually a five-step process:

1. Create instances of the effect objects to be composited together; for example:

   myFadeEffect = new mx.effects.Fade(target);

2. Set properties, such as duration, on the individual effect objects.
3. Create an instance of the Parallel effect object; for example:

   myParallelEffect = new mx.effects.Parallel();

4. Call the addChild() method for each of the effect objects; for example:

   myParallelEffect.addChild(myFadeEffect);

5. Invoke the Parallel effect's play() method; for example:

   myParallelEffect.play();
