Your login component should broadcast a "LoginEvent" to tell the parent app, hey the guy logged in, all good, do what u want now. That way you can reuse your component in every app, we do the same thing. Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.

One of my components is a Login screen, in which the user enters the username and password, these details are passed to a ColdFusion CFC and checked, the result is then checked. If the login is successful I want to be able to change the state in the main application file from the Login state to the Home state, originally I tried using: this.currentState = 'Home'; But this was in the Login component, which doesn't have states, so that didn't work. What is the best practice for components to call the main application to perform tasks like changing the state?
