I guess you would have to consider coupling.
You could have your mainApp register as a listener to your popup.
dispatch an event from your popup that triggers the method in your
mainApp view.
I guess you could also register your mainApp as a 'mediator' of your
component popup.
Normally i would use an MVC architecture and my currentState would be
bound to a property on the model.

ok, I guess this will suffice if the popup was just an alert. but the
popup window i am working on is a component by itself with datagrids
and states, so i have to trigger the with button click from this
titlewindow/popup window component. how is that i could access a
function in the mainApp.mxml from my popup custom component mxml?.
Thank you again.
(sincerely appreciate your responses).
