      Helpful, thanks. stateGroups were a puzzle, though. How to combine states? Which state names to use throughout the mxml? Where do these stateGroups pay off? I built an experiment, and the news is good: JohnHicks dot com slash wp

      Thank You

      I downloaded the new Adobe Flash Builder 4 Premium and tried and it is working. However, for this example, I made a small change from

      xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo
      to
      xmlns:mx="library://ns.adob e.com/flex/mx

      to make it compile. I am stunned that it did not work.

      I can switch between on state and the other.
      When we click on "Need to register" I expected to see things like "First Name" and "Last Name". Their location do exist as an space is allocated in the layout but they stay invisible.

      I have no clue why this does not work. Thanks

        Sorry for my stupid question.
        I wonder why `alpha="0.0" ` was used.
        Just delete it and it will look fine.
