Thanks for the response. You got me around that roadblock. Here's how I've
implemented it in my Cairngorm-based app in case someone else is looking for a
similar
solution:
In the mxml component containing the viewstack with effects on the children, I
added an
observe function:
<util:Observe
source="{ model.thisView }"
handler="{ viewStateChange }" />
This will watch for changes in the modelLocator indicating if this component is
in view or
not.
On a change, the handler just sets and clears the effect as Manish suggested.
private function viewStateChange():void
{
if (model.thisView == ModelLocator.THISVIEW_VIEW1)
{
panel1.setStyle("hideEffect", rotateDown);
panel2.setStyle("hideEffect", rotateUp);
}
else
{
panel1.clearStyle("hideEffect");
panel2.clearStyle("hideEffect");
}
}
Works great.
Thanks again Manish.
