Issues With States

Question

Hello everyone,
I have been working on this little project and it is almost
complete but I am running into some problems with the way the
states are interacting
I will show you the code.
[CODE]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The XML List was showing data but now with the addition of
the log in screen in a state and panel view it is not showing up
Thanks

Can you reduce this to something easier to work with? All of
the extra properties and such make it difficult to read.
