I got it to work using the following approach: (please let me know if
i've done something stupid)
index.mxml i have this function
public var isOpen : Boolean = false;
public function openWin():void{
if(!isOpen){
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,main,false);
isOpen = true;
}
in main.mxml i have this function
public function closeWindow():void
{
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
Application.application.isOpen = false;
}//closeWindow
