The support for filters in flowViz was added after the current bioc
release. If you go to the page for the devel version, you'll find a
link to a (somewhat terse) vignette with examples:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.1/bioc/html/flowViz.html

To use this (the filter stuff), you either need to run R-devel, or
manually install flowViz for R 2.5.x (I don't think there will be any
problems if you do that, but I can't guarantee it).
