Flex Best Practices-Transitions

Question

What would be the best way to transition from a small login
screen to a full application once the user has been verified? The
best example that I could find uses flex's base states
http://www.vipercreations.com/media/tutorials/login_system_with_flex_and_php/
(Login with user:test,pass:test)
I don't think thats the wrong way to do it, but I don't know
if its the best.

Answer 1

well, i do it this way
public function login(userId:String, password:String):void
var url:String = "
http://"+GeneralSettings.SERVERIP+":8080/login.do";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.userId = userId;
variables.password = password;
request.data = variables;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, requestWsdls);
loader.load(request);
}
