You can avoid the currentState issue by setting it in your mx:Application tag:
<mx:Application currentState="leftPanel"> You shouldn't need curly braces when defining event handlers in the tags, only when you're setting properties. >It appears that, until you set it, the base state is null. Change >your first condition to something like this: > >if(this.currentState != null && this.currentState != '') > > I'm not sure if it would cause an error, but the click code was not >enclosed in curly brackets. > I also moved the Script block to the top, although that should make >no difference. > >I tried to add my full code to the codeshare, but got an error.
