Flex and AIR: open and close a window without re-creating

I would like to open and close a window in Flex (AIR). I would really like to do something like:

var myWindow:Window = new Window();
myWindow.open(true); // open after creating(this works)

myWindow.close(); // now hide the window

myWindow.open(true);// reappear(this doesn't work after a close)

I probably missed something simple, maybe close()

not what to use.

The main thing is that I want to create the window once and then show and hide it as needed.

EDIT: removed unnecessary vars

It might be a copy error, but var

only required on the first line. Instead of closing the window, set the property to a visible

value false

to hide it.



//to hide the window
myWindow.visible = false;

//to show it again
myWindow.visible = true;

Why is var at the beginning of each line?

try it

myWindow.close(); 
myWindow.activate();
myWindow.open();


or

myWindow.close(); 
myWindow = new Window();
myWindow.open();
