javafx close window - user-interface

Question

I have a javafx app, and I was able to spawn another window, but I can't seem to find a way to close the the window i started in.
I used this to load the second window
var design = Launcher {};
javafx.stage.Stage
{
title: "Launcher"
scene: design.getDesignScene ()
}

Answer 1

stage.close(), but you would need a variable that references the original stage.

Answer 2

The way it worked for me:
I have the Main.fx where I instante the window I want to see first.
ex:
var mainWind:MainWindow = MainWindow{ };
MainWindow.fx will extend CustomNode and override create() method.
In the create() method I have the stage
ex:
public class MainWindow extends CustomNode{
...
var stage:Stage;
override function create():Node {
var n:Node;
stage = Stage {
width: 300
height: 180
title: "Login"
scene: Scene {
content:[ userText, userTextBox, passwdText, passwdTextBox, btnsBox ]
}
}
return n;
}
}
In MainWindow.fx I have a button with an event where I close this stage and show the other one .
ex:
Button {
text: "Login"
font:Font{ name:"Arial" size: 12}
layoutInfo:LayoutInfo {
width: loginbtn_width
}
blocksMouse: false
//close main window
onMouseClicked: function(e:MouseEvent):Void { stage.close(); }
//open the other window
action: function(){
// the ConnectionSettings will also extend CustomNode and will have its own stage
var conSetWind:ConnectionSettings = ConnectionSettings{ };
}
}
