I think I found what I needed in the StageWebView command actually. My code below is working although I'm not sure if it's "clean" at this point. I'm basically just trying to show, hide, and then show again a StageWebView.
var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();
// show the webView
show_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goGoogle);
function goGoogle(event:MouseEvent):void
{
webView.stage = this.stage;
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(20,20,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);
webView.loadURL("http://www.google.com");
}
/hide the webView
hide_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, hiding);
function hiding(event:MouseEvent):void
{
webView.stage = null;
}
