Linking MXMLs

I'm looking for code to create a link to navigate from one MXML to another. Is it possible to do without using Viewstack?

Amanda,

I use components in Flash Builder and transition from one mxml to another using States. For instance, in my application I have a portal where a user can choose which map they would like to view. Once clicked, the state changes to the specific map state where the component with the map comes in. Hope this helps!

I don't think States is going to work because I'm not just switching maps, I'm completely changing web pages.

That's what States is meant for in Flex. It's like changing "web pages" without changing pages. Everything in a Flex app is within a single html wrapper. To change "pages" you simply use different States to remove and add what you want into the project. Check this out for more info: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining.html. It explains States and "pages".
