A state change may create components, add them to the display list or show them if hidden. The corresponding events are creationComplete, addedToStage, and show. You may need to listen to all three

I have a set of viewstates that are used many times. When the view state is changed, I would like the child to "reset" its view. I would like the child to know when it is "revealed" due to the state change of the parent. It seems that the child does not know when the parent changes view states at all so the only way I could do this would be to 1) Have the controller that changes states reset the child 2) Have the child register for the viewstate ENTER_STATE event on its parent I've tried capturing hide/show/render on the child, but none of those "fit" What does flex actually do to children when they are no visible due to a "remove child" in a state, I would have assumed that they would be hidden but that doesn't seem to be the case and digging through the viewstate and addchild code of the sdk its not obvious to me what a state change really does under the covers to hide or reveal a set of children. ........................................... > b l u e t u b e i n t e r a c t i v e. .: Development solutions for creatives :. .: grant davies .: 404.428.6839 (c) .: 404.921.9550 (F) > [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bluetube.com/bti <http://www.bluetube.com/bti>
