You've got a lot of MIAWs happening here; that can cause difficulties on 
Win when you're trying to close 'em out if they're still in the process of 
talking either to each other or your stage.

You might want to do this in framescripts in your main movie. These would 
start at a marker that your quit-confirm MIAW would take the user to after 
the quit was confirmed:

  on exitFrame
    close window yourQuitConfirm
    close window yourNavigator
    close window theOtherMIAW
  end

...then, in the next frame:

  on exitFrame
    forget windoow yourQuitConfirm
    forget window yourNavigator
    forget window theOtherMIAW
  end

...and, in the final frame:

  on exitFrame
    QUIT
  end

In theory this closes and forgets everything *before* the quit happens.

Hope this helps!
