Detecting if Window is already open in Air

I am working on creating an update procedure for one of my Air
applications. In the application if it detects a newer version, I open
up a Window Component by the following code:

var askToUpdateApplicationWindow:AskToPerformUpdate = new
AskToPerformUpdate();
askToUpdateApplicationWindow.title = "We Are Closed Today Media
Application";
askToUpdateApplicationWindow.currentApplicationVersionNumber =
currentApplicationVersionNumber;
askToUpdateApplicationWindow.newApplicationVersionNumber =
newApplicationVersionNumber;
askToUpdateApplicationWindow.ServerName = ServerName;
askToUpdateApplicationWindow.newApplicationFileName =
newApplicationFileName;
askToUpdateApplicationWindow.open(true);


Now if the end user does not click on one of the two buttons in this
component, how can I go about checking to see if this window is
already open on the screen. Right now if the component window is open
the next time it checks to see if an update exists then I get 2
windows and I do not want that. I am wanting to bypass the update if
the window is currently open.

When I debug, askToUpdateApplicationWindow is always null from what I
can tell.

If you're naming the window, then you should just be able to check if that
"name" already exists. Something like:

if (!name) {
        // do something
}
