I would verify that the .state property really has changed. Don't forget that alert is not blocking (there is no blocking in AS3) so the code after Alert.show runs right away.

The second state does the following: <mx:State name="dateModeState"> <mx:RemoveChild target="{startDateLabel}"/> <mx:RemoveChild target="{startDate}"/> <mx:RemoveChild target="{spacer1}"/> <mx:RemoveChild target="{numDaysLabel}"/> <mx:RemoveChild target="{numDays}"/> <mx:RemoveChild target="{spacer2}"/> <mx:RemoveChild target="{endDateLabel}"/> <mx:RemoveChild target="{endDate}"/> <mx:RemoveChild target="{nonDmSpacer}"/> <mx:AddChild position="firstChild" relativeTo="{dateHBox}"> <mx:Label text="Date:" id="dateModeDateLabel" fontWeight="bold" visible="{dateMode.selected}" width="{setDateModeWidth(dateMode.selected, 'dateModeDateLabel')}"/> </mx:AddChild> <mx:AddChild position="after" relativeTo="{dateModeDateLabel}"> <mx:DateField id="dateModeDate" editable="true" focusOut="dateLosingFocusHandler(event)" keyDown="dateCheckForEnter(event)" close="dateCloseHandler(event)" visible="{dateMode.selected}" width="{setDateModeWidth(dateMode.selected, 'dateModeDate')}" selectableRange="{{rangeEnd: new Date()}}"/> </mx:AddChild> <mx:AddChild position="after" relativeTo="{dateModeDate}"> <mx:Spacer id="dmSpacer" width="418" height="10"/> </mx:AddChild> </mx:State> What it looks like is happening is that when the Alert box appears, the RemoveChild statements are executed, but not the AddChild. As a result, the screen visually changes when the Alert box appears. John
