FYI, I now can do what I want this way without using SetEventHandler:
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="SignOn">
<mx:AddChild><fmsc:FMSConnector id="connector" /></mx:AddChild>
<mx:AddChild><uic:SignOnForm id="signOnForm"
connect="connector.connect(event)"/></mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="Main">
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
Which is simpler. Still I'm a little surprised I couldn't do that with
SetEventHandler.
For example one of the things I tried:
<mx:SetEventHandler event="connect" target="{signOnForm}"
handler="connector.connect(event)"/>
gives the error:
Implicit coercion of a value with static type 'Object' to a possibly
unrelated type 'flash.events:Event'
