Description

Currently you can only use state groups in includeIn and excludeFrom. It would be very nice to be able to use state groups to set properties etc, as a function of state.

Given:

s:states>
<s:State name="base" stateGroups="baseGroup"/>
<s:State name="full" stateGroups="baseGroup"/>
............
<s:State name="gizzillionMinusOne" stateGroups="detailGroup"/>
<s:State name="gizzillion" stateGroups="detailGroup"/>
</s:states>

And then in your tags you get

property.base="whatever"
property.full="whatever"
.............
property.gizzillionMinusOne="whateverElse"
property.gizzillion="whateverElse"

Which is massive pain with multiple states when it would be so wonderful to just have:

property.baseGroup="whatever"
property.detailGroup="whateverElse"

i.e. two lines instead of gizillions of redundant lines.

Thanks.
