Right idea, wrong execution. Even this won't work, because it's still in
the context of the window that will be killed. Imagine in your example -
when it comes back from the 'tell the stage', what will it come back
to? The window is gone, it'll die.
Instead, do this:
(from the window you want to kill)
global gWindowToKill
gWindowToKill =the activeWindow
(and in an idle handler or exit frame on the stage, that loops around):
global gWindowToKill
if not (voidP(gWindowToKill)) then
forget gWindowToKill
gWindowToKill =VOID
end if
This way it safely executes from the context of the stage, and safely kills
the window.
