Application.application is a reference to the main application scope, and you can access any public member through that reference.
If states cause you too much difficulty consider using ViewStack.

It asks for login and password and if they succeed I want the currentState of the main MXML file to change to one called "main". When I had all of the code on the one main mxml I used this code to change the state: private function letUserIn():void{ if (roServalent.authUser.lastResult == true) { this.currentState = 'main'; } } When I run this code in the component file I get an error "ArgumentError: Undefined state 'main'." I know the scope "this.currentState" is what is causing the error. How do I scope currentState so it can find the "main" state in the main MXML file? I guessed super.currentState but that did not seem to work.
