How can I set handlers depending on the state ?

Question

Hello, Let's say I have an application with several states: s1, s2, ..., sn and this app has a child component that dispatches several events: e1, e2, ..., em. I would like to define event handlers in MXML, conditional on the state of the app:

<mx:Application >
    <mx:states>
       <s:State name="s1">
       <s:State name="s2">
    </mx:states>

    <mx:MyComponent id="mystuff"
                    e1.s1="handler_1_1(event)"  e1.s2="handler_1_2(event)"
                    e2.s1="handler_2_1(event)" />

 </mx:Application>

I have worked with the new state syntax for style and other attributes and it works great. When I try to define handlers this way, I get a "Error #1069: Property not found" exception.

Any ideas?

Many thanks, Dan
