Help with Transitions... targets="*" ?

Question

I search through the helps and docs but couldn't find what i
was looking for.
I was wondering if ther is another or an easyer way to tell
multiple targets what to do...
Imagine that I have a 'Main' state and when you click an
'About' button, the 'About' state comes in... So i wanted all the
elements from the 'Main' state to become suffer a blur effect. The
fact is that writing all the components ID in targes (as the
example above) is a pain in the ***.
Example
<mx:Transition fromState="*" toState="*">
<!-- Parallel effects execute in unison -->
<mx:Parallel targets="{[loginPanel, registerLink,
loginButton, confirm]}">
Since I searched and found nothing, can anyone tell if there
is a way to pass all the elements to the targets attribute without
writing all them down?
<mx:Parallel targets="***">
And also, is there any command to disable all those elements
functions? Like making DataGrids stop working/selecting lines?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

oh and to disable a datagrid or anything else i like to make
them look washed out or gray by simply creating a state with a 50%
transparent, white canvas over it, you wont be able to click or
interact with it as the canvas is blocking it and it will look
disabled as its colors and features will be "washed out", you can
mess with different colors and opacities
