Maybe I didnt post this correctly.
Here is how it should work. My main mxml file displays my menubar and
my state manager. I have an action script file that goes with my
menubar. That holds all the xml to populate the menubar and has a
function that should change the states with in the stateManager file.
Here is that function.
private function menuHandler(event : MenuEvent) : void {
currentState = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
}
If I was doing this on the parentApplication level I would use
something liek this.
parentApplication.currentState = 'Blah' or whatever.
But to better organize my application, I have split the stateManager
into a seperate file. The issue is I cant get the menubar to change
the state inside my stateManager file.
I have my main mxml file that holds my application tag
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
xmlns="*"
xmlns:widgets="components.widgets.*"
xmlns:stateManager="components.managers.*" layout="absolute">
<!-- SEARCH WIDGET -->
<widgets:widgetSearch x="0" y="0" />
<!-- MENU BAR WIDGET -->
<widgets:widgetMenuBar x="0" y="50" />
<!-- STATE MANAGER -->
<stateManager:stateManager x="0" y="94" id="mainDisplay" />
</mx:Application>
Then I have my Menu bar widget which contains my menu bar.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
creationComplete="initCollections()" width="100%" height="100%">
<!-- IMPORT asWidgetMenuBar.as -->
<mx:Script source="as/asWidgetMenuBar.as" />
<mx:MenuBar width="100%" change="menuHandler(event)" labelField="@label"
dataProvider="{menuBarCollection}" />
</mx:Canvas>
Then I have my State Manager manager that holds all the information
about the various states I have.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
xmlns:contacts="components.views.contacts.*"
xmlns:content="components.views.content.*"
xmlns:education="components.views.education.*"
xmlns:marketing="components.views.marketing.*"
xmlns:reports="components.views.reports.*"
xmlns:setup="components.views.setup.*"
xmlns:today="components.views.today.*"
xmlns:tools="components.views.tools.*"
xmlns:transactions="components.views.transactions.*" width="100%"
height="100%" currentState="EditListing">
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="mainState"/>
<!-- EDIT LISTING STATE -->
<mx:State name="EditListing" id="EditListing"
basedOn="mainState">
<mx:AddChild>
<transactions:viewEditListing />
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<!-- EDIT SALE STATE -->
<mx:State name="EditSale" id="EditSale"
basedOn="mainState">
<mx:AddChild>
<transactions:viewEditSale />
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
</mx:Canvas>
