It sounds like what you really want to know is "If I have component <B> inside of component (or application) <A>, how can ActionScript code in B access A's properties and methods?" (Setting the currentState property of the app from one of its components is simply a special case of this.)
The answer is by using the parentDocument property. - Gordon ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Terry Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 1:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Please Help - Components, States, & Transitions If it was that simple I would not be asking for help. I can figure out how to change state when all controls are in the same application, but I can't figure out how to make a "custom control" change the state of the parent. If the <comp:Login> control has the register button, and this is the 'parent' page, how does the 'login' tell the parent to change to the 'Register' state? ~David T. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " layout="absolute" xmlns:comp="assets.components.*" currentState="Login"> <mx:Style source="../assets/css/main.css"/> <mx:states> <mx:State name="Register"> <mx:AddChild position="lastChild"> <comp:signup1 horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"/> </mx:AddChild> </mx:State> <mx:State name="Login"> <mx:AddChild position="lastChild"> <comp:login horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"> </comp:login> </mx:AddChild> </mx:State> </mx:states> </mx:Application> ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of theduderino82 Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 3:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Please Help - Components, States, & Transitions It's really much more simple then you think. There are some good tutorials on the flex start page. Just type in the search "transition" or "state".
