I haven't worked much with states, but my sense is that here is how things might be working.
Either by default, or based on some user action, you are entering the state where the loginForm component is instantiated. At that point the user logs in, using the CFC. By definition, the login process has to be asynchronous. In other words, you need to make sure that the component which contains the event handler for replies from the server remains in scope while the login process occurs on the server. Assuming that is being handled correctly, you should have a function, presumably in loginForm, which is triggered by the response from the server. I would recommend having that function dispatch a "loggedIn" event. This would in essence mean that the login form component would be dispatching that event. Then have the login component listen for that event, and handle it when it happens. When dispatching the event, you can include the data received from the server, and thus that data will be available to the listeners to that event.
