Setting a non-base state as the starting state

By default, an application displays the base state when it starts. However, you can display a non-base state when the application starts.

To set a non-base state as the starting state:

1. With the MXML file opens in the MXML editor's Design mode, double-click the view state that you want in the States view (Window > States).
2. In the Edit State Properties dialog box that appears, select the Set As Start State option and click OK.
