Referencing 'states' in another component

Question

Relevant file structure:
Main.mxml (main app file)
\myComponents\Login.mxml (custom component)
In my Main.mxml file I have three states:
<Base state>
Login (start)
Home
On clicking a Submit button in the Login.mxml component I
would like to have the Main.mxml's state switch to Home. How would
I go about referencing the Home state from the Login.mxml custom
component (which is placed in the Login state). The questions boils
down to targetting syntax. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Hi,
I'm not sure to understand what you want to do but:
to have the Main.mxml's state switch to Home by clicking a
Submit button in the Login.mxml component I would do the following:
- in your Main.mxml make a public function (witch change
state) that you call from Login.mxml
Ex:
Main.mxml :
<mx:Application id="main" xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
public function changestate():void {
....//change state function
Login.mxml :
private function OnClick_submit(e:event):void {
//call main.mxml function to change state
main.changestate();
