[flexcoders] States and AIR

[Amy]

I have a simple State change that changes the width of my AIR window:

<mx:states>
                <mx:State name="fullWidth">
                        <mx:SetProperty target="{this}" name="width" 
value="{areaRect.width}" />
                </mx:State>

And I have a button that toggles it like this:

private function toggleWidth(e:Event):void{
                                if (currentState=='' || 
currentState==null){
                                        currentState='fullWidth';
                                } else {
                                        currentState='';
                                }
                        }

The problem I'm having is when currentState goes back to empty, the 
width does not toggle back to the starting width.  I'd rather not 
have to create a second state just for returning a property to its 
default state.  Has anyone else encountered this?

I think it is because the width is normally set on the nativeWindow, 
but you can't address nativeWindow from a state.

Thanks;
