getting a set Visible(true) turned false with an actionhandler.

[Mokomi]

hello yall! working on a side project with a few friends and i'm getting the Main Menu working correctly. I can open a new JFrame but i cannot get the first menu to either close, or go invisible.
First page

package inter;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Main {
	public static void main(String[]args){
		boolean main =true;
	
		JFrame inter = new Inter();
		inter.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		inter.setSize(300,300);
		inter.setLocation(500, 250);
		inter.setVisible(main);

		
	}
	

}

You may want to look into the dispose method. So the original frames button click will create and setup a new window, then dispose of the original frame.

Where do you use the value of the main variable after you have changed its value?
