Question : Unload window in AS3

Hi all and merry xmas.

I have a problem with a bit of code.
This code basically pops up a window with a textarea and populates it on a button click.
It all works fine but I need to unload it when clicking another button but I cannot seem to get it working.
Anyone knows how to unload it please?

Thanks

Please see code below:

Answer : Unload window in AS3

you will need to declare myWindow outside of the function so it has correct scope. This will enable you to remove from within another function.

                       
         
           
           
             var myWindow:Sprite
function clickHandlerphone(eo:MouseEvent):void {
    myWindow = new Sprite();
    var myText:TextArea = new TextArea();
    myText.text = "Hello World!";
	myText.htmlText = urlLoader.data;
	myText.editable = false;
	myText.height = 480;
	myText.width = 645;
	myText.move(125,110);
    myWindow.addChild(myText);
    addChild(myWindow);
}
 
function btnCloseHandler(e:MouseEvent){
 removeChild(myWindow)
}
