Examples

Retrieve the main flow from the document, in one method-chained line:

Same as above, but iterates over the NamedFlowCollection object represented in a flows variable:

var flow;
var flows = document.getNamedFlows();
for (var i = 0; i < flows.length; i++) {
    if (flows[i].name == 'main') {
        flow = flows[i];
        break;
    }
}

Usage

 For any flows in the collection that  disappear when they are no longer assigned to any content, item() and namedItem() yield null.
