If your button in the custom class is broadcasting an event, say for an
example, and event called "changed", you can add an event listener in a
script tag in the main MXML. A snippet would be:
private function addListeners():void
{
myCustomClassInstance.addEventListener("changed", onChanged);
}
private function onChanged():void
{
currentState = "myOtherState";
}
However, if you class creates buttons, why not have those buttons
created with MXML instead of Actionscript?
There is a great Flex list on Yahoo! called Flexcoders which would be
more capable to answer this than this list.
