I am assuming you are spoeaking of HTML? 
If so are you using a editor (ie. Front page)? Are you able to let us see the code?

If you have a JavaScript function that opens a window in Frame 1, put a function on that same frame to close the window.  
For example:
 
 
var winHandle;
function openWindow() {
  winHandle=open(.....);
}
 
function closeWindow() {
  winHandle.close();
}
In frame 2 when you want to close the popup refer to the function in frame 1 by using parent.
 
 
function logout() {
  ...do some stuff...
  parent.closeWindow();
I'm doing this off the top of my head so you'll obviously have to mess around with it a bit, but that should give you an idea of the general concept.
 
Good Luck.
