How about write a custom item renderer and expose a public property "state" name it however you want. Bind that property to the current state of your custom component. When the parent state changes, the item renderer wil update also.

Within the main component, I have TileLists or datagrdids with item renderers. When the custom component flips between states, I need the individual items contained therein to switch state too. I'm trying to think of the most elegant way to do this. Any thoughs 9apart from the fact I'll go Doh! real soon now). I've tended to avoid states, but seem to be embracing them big time now..
