Hi again all!

I have a couple of questions to the puremvc community and all the stuff its about states.
Question 1.
¿Is it possible manage states without the statemachine utility?
I mean i have some states in my applications,like login, ApplicationLogged and so forth. When i get logged in i present some components to the user like an application bar, and a tree. In the center of the stage i will load the proper module or view component when the user clicks the tree. And at this point my confussion begins. I will try to be clear as possible. When i get in the state "ApplicationLogged" i fire up and event creationComplete to register the mediator with the component (like in the slacker sample).It was working fine until i put states in the Application. Unfortunetely i didnt succeed. It says in the constructor of the mediator that this component its equal to null. Do i really need to use the state machine utility?
Thanks in advance again
