This should be possible using the Alert as well, just use the PopUpManager to
remove the Alert control.
Short answer: PopUpManager.removePopUp(<Alert_instance>);

Thank Carlos
I use Title window and have result I expect. Here is my code
private var tw:TitleWindow = new TitleWindow();
private function Load():void
{
tw.title = "Wait to update...";
mx.managers.PopUpManager.addPopUp(tw,this,true);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(tw);
...
}
// then call remove when finish work
private function handleWorkDone(event:ResultEvent):void
{
PopUpManager.removePopUp(tw);
...
}
