Description

Hello,
Let's say I have an application with several states: s1, s2, ..., sn and this app has a child component that dispatches several events: e1, e2, ..., em. I would like to define event handlers in MXML, conditional on the state of the app:

<mx:Application >
<mx:states>
<s:State name="s1">
<s:State name="s2">
</mx:states>

<mx:MyComponent id="mystuff"
e1.s1="handler_1_1(event)" e1.s2="handler_1_2(event)"
e2.s1="handler_2_1(event)" />

</mx:Application>

Actual Results:
Error #1069: Property not found

Expected Results:
succinct description of a finite state machine that reacts to the same triggers according to its current state, and to avoid ugly switches on the event handlers.

Workaround (if any):
