So what's the problem?

'title' is always going to be text so you don't have to say 'as text'. Just
possibly TE+ thinks you're trying to coerce 'window 1 as text' - since you
didn't use enough parentheses. If so, that would error.

Otherwise, you're setting a variable index1Flag to true. Do you ever set it
to false (perhaps initially) in other cases? If not, the variable will be
undefined in those cases and you'll get an error.

So what error are you getting, and on what line?
