Allow components event to change states of other components
New states feature is excellent but restricted for self components interaction. In many cases, especially in web and desktop apps, there are cases where a component event should affect another element on screen.
It would be a super powerful option to allow a component event to change states of another component.
Currently if i use component A inside component B, i can't use A to change state of B, even though A is part of B.

I upvote this one as well, now when selecting "auto-animate" I can only auto-animate to the states of that same component, but in this case, it is a nested component, so I need it to be able to change the state of the "master" component above.

Yes! This is exactly what I'm looking for as well. This functionality would be transformative for me.

Now that Flash is defunct, is the time to rescue all the functionalities that had been perfectly worked out in it.
Movie clips and symbols in Flash should be taken as the foundation for how components and interactions work in XD. Why this is not the case is beyond me. Why does Adobe keep reinventing the wheel with a square?The way it all worked in Flash was tried and tested, it's a no-brainer!!!!!

I have created a component to 'Select' a record on my screen but also need an option to 'Select All' when there are multiple records displayed. This should theoretically change the state of each component instance to 'Selected'. It would be nice to be able to do this from one instance of the 'Select' component... linked to each other instance with an action to change from the default to 'Selected' state for all linked components

Yes please! Expecially a parent component. Like I have a Menu that I want to toggle open a side menu on tap. But I have to set clicking anywhere on the entire menu to trigger the interaction because I can't just place the listener on the hamburger menu icon..

YES that would be amazing and that would actually make sense... I mean that's how it is on a website so why not in XD ?

Ahh I just asked about something like that earlier as I don't want to make a bazillion artboards to simulate that..... do it, Adobe!

This will be useful to implement a 5 star rating interaction.
Clicking on the 5th star will light up all other 4 stars also.
Currently, this is not possible. -

This is not a feature... This is an absolute must!

How is this not a thing?

Not having this feature it makes prototyping anything but the simplest UIs very difficult. I was honestly shocked it wasn't already part of the product.

Yes, please implement this asap. It's such an essential feature in order to build a functional prototype for a desktop app.

I suggest this is done by adding the ability to Trigger a component state change when another component on the artboard changes state.
I have already made a request to allow a component to change state based on a Time event, so both requests could be grouped into a general upgrade to the component state change trigger mechanism.

I would love to be able to to handle an object behavior from another one.
Examples : Tap an icon to change another component state or to reduce the opacity of a layer... etc..
It would decrease the number of artboards we use in our designs and simplify our work. -

Please add this feature. This is necessary for prototyping.
