I got the first error figured out, but I have run into the same problem I had before.
When a user needs to add a new vendor, they are taken to the state on the parent application called vendorAdd. When they click save or close, it should return them to the previously called state. But it does not work on the parentApplication level. This is the code I am testing. vendorAdd.mxml- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" currentStateChanging="setOldState(event)" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns="*"> <mx:Script source="as/vendorAdd.as" /> <mx:Panel x="0" title="" y="0" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" id="canvas1"> </mx:Canvas> <mx:ApplicationControlBar x="0" width="100%" height="35"> <mx:Button click="returnState()" label="Save"/> <mx:Button label="Reset"/> </mx:ApplicationControlBar> </mx:Panel> </mx:Canvas> vendorAdd.as - // imports import mx.events.*; // Sets Previous State Var public var prevState; // Function to set previous state public function setOldState(evt:StateChangeEvent):void { prevState = evt.oldState; } // Returns User to Previous State public function returnState() { parentApplication.currentState = prevState; } --- In [email protected], "Jeremy Rottman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > this is code that I am trying.
