Air application created with Flex - How do I create a fly-out window to the left/right

Question

I have an Air application with a main window. I would like to have a new window fly out from the side of the main window when the user clicks on a button in the main window. The window that appears needs to display information based on value passed from the main form. How can I achieve this with Flex Builder 3?

Target platform: any version of Flash/Flex/Air.

You'll probably want to use view states. Check out the Flex in one Week video tutorial on "Creating View States":
