Hi Troy, I have deal with some similar thing and I finally found that the best approach is to have a single AS variable referencing the right component at the right moment, that is, change the object pointed by the AS variable when your state changes.
In the other hand, I also found that components inside a repeater that are defined with a single ID, become to an array of components: If you have <mx:Button id="btn"/> inside a repeater, at the end, you will get that btn is an array of Buttons. I do not know how to get that programatically or without using a repeater.... however it would be cool.
