RE: [flexcoders] mx:states vs mx:viewstack when and which?

Tue, 02 May 2006 22:30:24 -0700

I think it's often a style preference.  I tend to think of a viewstack
as being useful when you want to replace a whole section.  Look at view
1.  Now look at view 2.  States are better for modes of a component, now
we're in expanded view, now we're in thumbnail view.  As soon as you
want the same component moving around I think you'll use a state.  In
some cases I might have a state for the larger component where one of
the things I'll change in the state is the selectedIndex of a ViewStack
:-)

I think it's going to take the community some time to use the features
before coming up with a best practice pattern of where you would use one
over the other.

Subject: [flexcoders] mx:states vs mx:viewstack when and which?

Hello, I've seen some examples with Cairngorm using either states or a
viewstack to display the current screen.  I was wondering what were
the advantages/disadvantages and when you should use one over the
other?  Seems like both can have the current view bound to a selection

thanks
