Problems with Steps 21-22 and 32 in Exercise 17

Question

I have tried Exercise 17 several times and, each time, when I
get to Step 21, I do exactly as the instruction states: I select
the Login component in the Outline panel.
Step 22 refers to a "highlighted component" on the stage but
I don't see any. A couple of times, I saw handles and clicked
within the component and deleted it, as instructed.
When I return to the source view on Step 23, the Login
component is still there so I'm not sure what Step 22 was meant for
in the first place.
In any case, I proceed and, when I get to Step 32, I run the
application. But clicking the Submit button does not switch to the
reservation view.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks!

Hi
To get the reservation form to display after clicking submit, just add a "creationComplete = "init()"" to your application tag in "ResevationSystem.mxml". This is because, the init function never gets called and hence
private  
function init():void
login.addEventListener("login",loginHandler);
"ResevationSystem.mxml" never gets called.
Your Application tag in "ResevationSystem.mxml"  should look like this
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="
absolute" xmlns:comp="
components.*" themeColor="
silver"backgroundColor="
#62627F"horizontalScrollPolicy="
off"creationComplete="init()"
