Just have your code set currentState = "stateName", where stateName = the name of the State. <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " xmlns="*" layout="absolute" currentState="loginState"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import stuff here... private function logMeIn():void { Check login here... currentState = "mainApplication"; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:states> <mx:State name="loginState"> <mx:AddChild position="lastChild"> <mx:Panel title="Login"> Login stuff here... <mx:Button label="Login" click="logMeIn()"/> </mx:Panel> </mx:AddChild> </mx:State> <mx:State name="mainApplication"> <mx:AddChild position="lastChild"> Your application stuff here for other state </mx:AddChild> </mx:State> </mx:states> </mx:Application> HTH, ~randy
