Douglas, Thanks for your concise and clear reply. Much appreciated. One thing is a little confusing though.

Since the component in question is used in various places across the application (For example, in one instance it is on the same view in 3 places for different fields), wouldn't binding the component to a selectedStates property on the model cause all instances of the component to reflect one of it's sibling's data?? Thanks so much. While I'm not new to Flash/Flex, etc, I am very new to the proper development of things. ;)
