Hey Jeremy,
I just tried your sample and it works fine. If you are naming your
states as menu labels then @label would work and if you are using data
as your state names then @data would work.
For example, I added following states in your code:
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="Sales">
<mx:AddChild>
<mx:Button label="In Sales State"/>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="Rentals">
<mx:AddChild>
<mx:Button label="In Rental State"/>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="Referrals">
<mx:AddChild>
<mx:Button label="In Referrals State"/>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
On selecting menu "Search -> Sales or Rentals or Referrals", I do see
state changes.
Please attach your complete code if you are still having problems.
