Hi, I am trying to utilize states to ultimately have a login page when my app loads, upon successful login, I want my main.mxml file to load which is basically the "home page" of my application.
As of now in the "states" panel, I have a base state, but my base state is my home page and I do not want this. I want my login page to be the base state. In the states panel, I tried adding a state called home, but I think everything is on the same state, meaning my login is not the base and my home page is not on the home state. If I click the base state, should I only see whats on that state? Are states like "layers" in a sense, layers in terms of Photoshop or Fireworks? In "design view" I can switch between states, but nothing really happens. Any help appreciated. As of now I just have two files. 1 main mxml file and 1 custom component. This is my login.mxml page, which I wanted to be a custom component (code borrowed from a tutorial): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" layout="absolute" title="Member Login" width="275" height="150"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function handleLoginEvent():void { lblTest.text = "logging in..."; //login logic } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Label x="8" y="20" text="Username"/> <mx:Label x="14" y="50" text="Password"/> <mx:TextInput x="78" y="18" id="txtUID"/> <mx:TextInput x="78" y="48" id="txtPwd" displayAsPassword="true"/> <mx:Button x="188" y="78" label="Login" click="handleLoginEvent ()"/> <mx:Label x="78" y="78" id="lblTest"/> </mx:Panel> thx -Malik ------------------------ Yahoo!
