Davy,
I don't see anything wrong w/your code. What you are demonstrating here is
exactly what the official Adobe course materials cover--states and a main
app, which has subcomponents, each having their own state.
However, I am not familiar w/the id attribute on the nested <states> tag.
<mx:states id="mystates">
<mx:State name="mystate1">
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="mystate2">
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
How about
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="mystate1">
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="mystate2">
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
