Yeah. Just keep an instance of the View (or engine if you will) somewhere in your app and add it to stage when you need it. Not sure of your app setup, but maybe reference it using a Singleton/Static class var so it's easy to instantiate and push to stage from anywhere?
As your file showed, there is most probably some memory leak in the view but it shouldn't be a problem if you do it like this. I didn't check it fully, but it looked like the objects declared on stage were not properly unreferenced as it was Number3D, Vertices, UV and other basic classes that kept increasing in instance count in the profiler. I'll see if I can look closer at it.
