Question on Flex Component

Question

Hi,
I have two components and i am trying to display pre-defined component1 state from component2 when a button is clicked.
My Code in Component2 to acheive this:
private function displayComponent1():void
     var comp1:Component1;
     comp1.currentState = 'addState';
I get this run time exception:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
so i changed my code to
private function displayComponent1():void
     var comp1:Component1 = new Component1();
     comp1.currentState = 'addState';
I dont get any exceptions but its not displaying component1. Can any one please help me out.
Thanks,
csr

Hello,
     If I understand what you are looking, it sounds like you need to use the full domain path when setting the state.
For example:
private function displayComp():void {
     com.mycomps.comp1.currentState = 'addState';
This assumes that you have setup an XMLNS for you comps.
