What I usually do is have a model object that is separate from the views
(MVC). In that class I would define a bindable property like [Bindable]
viewState:String;... then bind my main currentState to it as follows
currentState="{theModel.viewState}". Now any view (like login view) can
update model.viewState and the main.currentState will change via the
binding.
