Can't recreate editor after calling destroy

if(editor)
      {
       //this one doesn't seem to cause any problems
        editor.destroy();
      }

      editor = CKEDITOR.replace(this,
      {
        uicolor : "#007dc3"
      });

function handleAfterCommandExec(event)
      {
        //grab the button that was pressed
        var commandName = event.data.name;
        // check to see if it was the save
        if (commandName == 'save')
        {
          //add ajax call here. 
          // this one however breaks it
          editor.destroy();
        }
      }
