How to redirect to another window programmatically
How do I redirect from one window to another programmatically. The user can use the tabs in the tab group up top for moving between them but at times within javascript I need to redirect the user automatically from one window to another. How do I accomplish this?

var new_window = Titanium.UI.createWindow({ title:"New Window" }); new_window.open();Is that what you mean? I don't quite understand. You could throw that in a setTimeout or an Event?

Thanks for the reply. That might be what I'm looking for, I'm not sure. I'm basically just looking for a way to navigate between different pages (external javascript files, but I guess technically they're "windows".) With the code above it looks like if I go from page 1 to page 2 then back to page 1 then back to page 2, there will now be 4 windows open. It seems like it should redirect back and forth in the same window. Is that not how it works in Appcelerator?

The answer ended up being using events to access the tabgroup in app.js from the windows:
app.js:
Titanium.App.addEventListener('switchTab', function (e) { switch (e.tab) { case 'home': tabGroup.setActiveTab(tab1); break case 'scores': tabGroup.setActiveTab(tab2); break; case 'teams': tabGroup.setActiveTab(tab3); break; case 'settings': tabGroup.setActiveTab(tab4); break; } });to trigger the navigation change in some external js file (window):
Titanium.App.fireEvent('switchTab', { tab: 'teams' });
