MACROMEDIA DIRECTOR MX 2004-DIRECTOR SCRIPTING Reference page 267

Be aware that closing a window does not stop the movie in the window nor clear it from memory.
This method simply closes the window in which the movie is playing. You can reopen it quickly
by using the
open() (Window)
keep available.
If you want to completely dispose of a window and clear it from memory, use the
method. Make sure that nothing refers to the movie in that window if you use the
method, or you will generate errors when scripts try to communicate or interact with the
forgotten window.
Parameters
None.

the current movie's folder:

// JavaScript syntax
window(_movie.path + "MIAW Sources\\Panel").close();
