closing JFrame with button click

[Norgy]

    private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
        // TODO add your handling code here:

        next2 nx = new next2();
        next me = new next();
        me.setVisible(false);
        nx.setVisible(true);
        
    }

i am trying to close the "next" frame with the line me.setVisible(f alse); and display another one with the line nx.setVisible(t rue);
but when i run the code and press jButton1, the "next" frame doesn't disappear

i have tried : this.dispose; and it worked
