Try from in the mainApp scope.

Thanks for taking your time to respond, Bjorn.

I am triggering a function called submitData() from the click event of
my button inside the popup window.

private function submitData():void{
mainApp.currentState.name = "secondState";
}

This doesnt seem to accomplish what I wish for (of changing the state
of my mainApp.mxml)

How is that I can access a function from my main application mxml,
for example: changeState().

private function changeState():void{
currentState = "secondState";
}

Please excuse my ignorance. Could you let me know what I am missing?

Thank you.
