I'm on the Flex framework team in San Francisco. Glad to be of help.
I'm not sure where (if?) this is covered in our doc set. Where would you expect to look? - Gordon ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Terry Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 2:39 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Please Help - Components, States, & Transitions GORDON!!!!! Where the hell are you in the country? I'm coming to kiss you. :)~ J/K But really, thank you!!! When you are just starting out in a language, the simplest things are the hardest. I've been coding C++, VB, C#, VB.NET for 12 years (3 on the later), but learning this - has been like jumping into the abyss. Thanks again. ~David T. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gordon Smith Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 4:07 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Please Help - Components, States, & Transitions 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: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Terry Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 1:35 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com 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: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of theduderino82 Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 3:08 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com 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".
