For a change as significant as that, I suggest using ViewStack instead of states.

The base state for this application is a TabNavigator with three Canvas subelements. On its own, this works fine. When the application loads, I switch away from the base state to a screen to let the user login/get their password emailed/add a new registration. If they want to add a new registration, currentState is set back to "" to return to the base state - the full data entry form. The funny part is that when the state changes, the selectedIndex of the TabNavigator switches from 0 to 1. I've stepped through in the debugger and before this line the (hidden) TabNavigator has an index of 0. this.currentState = ""; // Base state has input form After this line, the TabNavigator has an index of 1. If I explicitly reset the selectedIndex back to 0, the TabNavigator is drawn with elements from the first two "pages" drawn on top of each other. I can see that the Canvas for index 0 is drawn and the Canvas for index 1 is drawn on top of that. I've tried using a ViewStack instead of TabNavigator but, as you would expect, it makes no difference. I've been going around in circles for some time here without any progress - is this problem ringing a bell? I didn't find anything like it in the archives. I've tried with the 3.2 and 3.5 SDKs but the behavior is the same in both cases. I could skip the TabNavigator completely and do everything with ViewStates but, honestly, I'd rather not. I find it simpler to work with the TabNavigator in the visual designer. Then again, if it isn't going to work right it's not really "eaiser" any more. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
