[flexcoders] possible bug in viewstacks with states or am i not doing something right?

[Derrick Anderson]

hi, i'm seeing odd behavior in my application, whenever i use a custom
component that has states defined- my outermost viewstack stops functioning
(stops showing it's children when i change the visible child).  when i take
the states out it works just fine

here's how it's laid out

main.mxml -->viewStack in this class
-- stack container 1
-----> custom component (2 states defined)
-----> custom component (2 states defined)
-- stack container 2
-- stack container 3

the states code is identical in each of the two custom components

<mx:states>
        <mx:State name="graph">
            <mx:SetProperty target="{graph}" name="visible" value="true" />
            <mx:SetProperty target="{data}" name="visible" value="false" />
        </mx:State>
        <mx:State name="data">
            <mx:SetProperty target="{graph}" name="visible" value="false" />
            <mx:SetProperty target="{data}" name="visible" value="true" />
        </mx:State>
    </mx:states>

and it get's called like this

private function init():void{
                this.currentState = 'graph';
            }

is it a bug?  i don't see why those states should affect the behavior of the
main viewstack, but i'm sure it does- anybody know what gives or know a
workaround ?

thanks,
d.
