JQuery :: Not Working When Called From Actionscript 2.0?

So I have a menu animation that I built in flash/actionscript 2.0 and when you click on menu the header pulls down to reveal the menu, then you can click on menu again to push the header back up and hide the menu. I have a <div> below the header that I am trying to "push" down and "pull up" with the menu animation so what I did was in the actionscript button I used

on(release) {
getURL("javascript:moveDown();");
menuanim.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

That's the code for "pulling" the menu down, it's pretty much the same for "pushing" it up but calling for "moveUp()" instead of moveDown().So in my html I am using...

<script>
function moveUp() {
$("#moveme").animate({

[Code].....

the div is labeled as <div id="moveme" style="margin-top: -250px; width: 920px; height: 1000px; overflow: visible;"> if I use a regular javascript function that just moves the div it works, but looks horrible, as soon as I try to animate it it does nothing at all. I have tried using different sytax's likemarginTop: "-325px" and even "margin-top": "+=-325px" but nothing is working, it just will not move.
