How to access display object parent?

[PTR]

How can I access an FlxSprite's parent container such as an FlxState. I want to remove it from the display list.

Out of the box, a FlxSprite has no concept of a "parent" (why can be useful in some cases like adding it to several FlxGroups).

If you know that it's been added to the state directly, you can call FlxG.state.remove(this). Other than that, it should be simple enough to create a subclass that you pass the parent FlxGroup to through the constructor.
